NEW YORK, NY, US, August 17, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Cayuga Centers, a non-profit human services agency, will join the community this Saturday and Sunday at the NYC Children’s Festival as a part of Harlem Week 2022, an annual festival highlighting the rich heritage of the neighborhood and the people who call it home.
Cayuga Centers’ staff will have a booth available at the Howard Bennett Playground on 135th Street to share information about the family services they provide and answer questions on how to become a foster parent. The organization is using this opportunity to share the importance of local foster care programs and the need for more New Yorkers to get involved.
“We are proud to be a part of this historic event that celebrates and uplifts the Harlem community,” said Lorraine Sánchez, Chief Operating Officer of Mid-Atlantic Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice Services Programs at Cayuga Centers. “We see the NYC Children’s Festival as a great opportunity to educate the community on our mission to support children and families, and we look forward to meeting with everyone who stops by to speak with us about how they can get involved.”
