Halloween is serious business at @LSSNewYork!
Our residential program staffers congregated in costume for our team-building Halloween celebration.
The winners of our contest? Video game character Luigi, the Paycom time clock, and our “hippy chick.” (final image)

Making strides against breast cancer...
Some of our Early LIFE staff and friends joined @AmericanCancer’s walk in support of breast cancer survivors on our team.
We were part of the roughly 50,000 participants who turned out for this 4-mile event.
#BreastCancerAwareness
@AmericanCancer’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a movement to raise funds for lifesaving research and programs. The goal? As ACS says, “to ensure everyone has a fair and just opportunity to live a longer, healthier life free from breast cancer.”

Do your tastes run savory or sweet?
For #HispanicHeritageMonth, @LSSNewYork's Ruth Acevedo shared her mother’s famous arroz con leche soup...
Image is AI generated but recipe is 100% real!
Says Ruth, “I’m convinced this version of #arrozconleche exists only in my mother’s town in Puerto Rico, #Camuy. I’m only aware of one other person outside of my family who makes this dish, and that person comes from Camuy, Puerto Rico. All others seem to make it as a dessert.”
Where do you fall in this great debate: Should arroz con leche be made and served as a soup or a dessert? Let us know below.
And Happy #HispanicHeritageMonth!

Congratulations to Donovan Clemmons, Senior/High Risk Case Manager at our Bergen Street Residence!
He earned his Master of Social Work degree last week.
#SocialWork @silbermanssw
Read Donovan’s 2025 spotlight about his own personal superhero — his grandfather — and how, as a black male social worker, he’s particularly able to serve clients who had previously felt misunderstood and therefore disengaged.
