As part of our Helping Heals initiative, Tuesday’s Children has partnered with New York Cares for two events each year.

On Saturday, April 12, a Tuesday’s Children team composed of family members, Rescue and Recovery workers, and staff participated in Hands On New York Day.  Over 7,000 volunteers, participated in a day of Good Green Fun, cleaning up the parks and painting park benches and playgrounds all over New York City.

Tuesday’s Children was assigned to Flushing Meadows Corona Park to clean up the pond area along with over 100 volunteers from corporations and organizations in the New York area. After a full day and many bags of debris later, the Team felt a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.  It was a great day of community service.
