He is risen! Happy Easter from @LSSNewYork #Easter

Wishing you a meaningful day.  #GoodFriday

Thank you to all the social workers of @LSSNewYork. Through your caring, commitment, and compassion, you live out the social worker creed to "give more people—regardless of life circumstances—the opportunity to cope with and overcome obstacles."  —NASW #SocialWorkMonth

Let us reflect on all our blessings.  #HolyWeek #PalmSunday

“We have all needed help at one time or another…Being able to show up in the role of the helper is a privilege.” Congratulations to our ED for Residential Services and to the other @CityAndStateNY "remarkable leaders moving New York forward" #rachel-bleecker" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cityandstateny.com/power-lists/20…

Fathers participated in math learning games and activities that were aligned to our curriculum. Sums up Anytra Godard, MS.Ed/SpEd, Asst ED of Engagement, Health & Disabilities at @LSSNewYork: Real Dads. Real Math. Real Impact. Early Life strong! 💪📚

Strong fathers + engaged kids = strong families That’s the kind of math we can get behind. Last week, our Early LIFE sites held an event, "Curriculum/Dad's Math Night," as part of our Fatherhood Initiative, "Strong Fathers, Strong Families."

Human services workers can’t be called “essential” when government contracts don’t include reasonable salary increases. @amNewYork Op-Ed: Wayne Ho, Chinese-American Planning Council; @marializardo, @NMICnyc; @DamynKellyJDPhD, @LSSNewYork amny.com/opinion/nys-hu… #JustPay

Congratulations to Stephanie Baez! @NYCDHS recognized her work in the successful conversion of Fortitude House from a family shelter to a men's shelter. We also acknowledge how hard the entire @LSSNewYork team worked to facilitate this transition. #EmployeeAppreciationDay

As we begin the second week of Lent, may we all take this time to: - reflect and repent - practice almsgiving - emphasize generosity - engage in honest self-examination

“Enjoy the moment, let it shine. Feel the love that’s yours and mine.” To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we posed for pictures at Fortitude House, our Brooklyn shelter. In the Bronx, we crafted cards and ate heart-shaped donuts at our Seneca House shelter. #HappyValentinesDay

“I am black, brown, white, I speak a different language. But I must be respected, protected, never rejected. I am God’s child. I am somebody.” Watch: youtube.com/shorts/jWPMh51…   Thank you #RevJackson for standing tall for equality and opportunity.   More important than ever.

Happy Lunar New Year!

At our Early LIFE program, age was not just any number. For our “100th Day of School” event, children dressed up as if they were 100 and engaged in classroom activities around the number “100” that promoted math awareness and skill development. Problem solved — 100%!

Goodbye January (and the frigid temperatures?) and hello February! At Fortitude House, our Brooklyn shelter, families expressed immense gratitude for the recreational space & staff who help create lasting memories, celebrating important birthday milestones with their young ones.

“In the nonprofit community, we do a lot of work and we don't get a chance to celebrate. So this is our way of recognizing the staff’s dedication to serving vulnerable New Yorkers."—@DamynKellyJDPhD May you have as much fun on New Year's Eve as we did earlier this month!

Go behind the scenes with @LSSNewYork. These exceptional people provide food, shelter, and care to 7,000+ individuals every day throughout NYC & Nassau County. Because of them, our program participants can not only survive but thrive. lssny.dm.networkforgood.com/emails/4410989… @DamynKellyJDPhD

“Meet” our Early LIFE reindeer, pictured during a toy drive by @NYCSanitation, Bronx Garage 7 “House of Pain.” As the year comes to an end, we invite you to please give to spread hope. Every gift makes a difference.    Our 2025 program highlights: lssny.dm.networkforgood.com/emails/4400399…

Merry Christmas from @LSSNewYork!

Celebrating the holidays at Fortitude House, our Brooklyn shelter. We gave out 250 presents, thanks to the Brooklyn Tabernacle and @NYHomeless. Because of them, each of our children received a gift for Christmas. We are very thankful to both for their continued partnership.
