Seniors from the Jackie Robinson Senior Center of Grant Houses and Manhattanville PSS Senior Center of Manhattanville Houses received their farm share on Wednesday morning. This program is set to continue for the duration of 5 weeks, which allows for us to still connect with our senior community given the circumstances posed by the pandemic. 

Many thanks to Founder and Executive Director of the Harlem Wellness Center, Mrs. Vivian Williams-Kurutz, who has been a crucial partner in our efforts towards connecting with the West Harlem community.
