Why
you should participate in the Every Face Race
Enjoy a Saturday morning with friends and family at The
Every Face Race on May 7th at Prospect Park. You
can walk or run in this exciting event, designed to raise funds
for one of New York's most vital and caring organizations, Catholic
Charities of Brooklyn & Queens.
Catholic Charities has been actively involved
in the lives of the people in Brooklyn and Queens for over 100
years.
As the largest provider of multiple social
services in New York City, Catholic Charities serves thousands
of people annually. Catholic Charities is also one of the largest
not-for-profit developers of housing in New York State with over
3,000 units for senior citizens, the formerly homeless, the disabled
and low income families. With programs throughout two boroughs,
Catholic Charities is also one of Brooklyn and Queens' largest
employers.
Catholic Charities serves people of all
religions who request assistance through its 180 programs for
the poor, disadvantaged, sick, physically disabled, aged and isolated.
Catholic Charities reaches out to the young and old, children
and parents, individuals and families, whether they have lived
in Brooklyn or Queens for their entire lives or are just arriving
immigrants. Catholic Charities is there for them in times of crisis
and need.
