Forty three people each representing a different neighborhood community showed up to learn about small grants from Citizens Committee for New York City. This is grassroots organizing at its best!
Thanks to St. Francis de Sales School for The Deaf for hosting us. Thanks to Saleen Shah, Director of Communications and Public Affairs, and everyone at Citizens Committee for New York City. Your partnership helps expand block associations throughout our communities and engage neighbors in building stronger, healthier, more vibrant communities. And, of course, thanks to everyone who was able to attend.
