• Spring Basket Delivery - March 31, 2007
  Each spring, we have The Spring Basket Delivery, which consists of donated canned goods, fresh vegetables and fruits, candy and goodies for adults and children. We have wonderful volunteers who dedicate time to assemble and deliver the spring baskets to our clients.
• Summer Picnic
  Our annual summer picnic is a wonderful laid back time where clients and their family can enjoy a day of food, entertainment, arts & crafts, music, games and raffle prizes all for free. The majority of the food and entertainment is donated from vendors from community. Staff and dedicated volunteers give a hand at this event.
  
• Thanksgiving Basket Deliveries - November 17, 2007
  In the fall we have our annual Thanksgiving Basket Delivery, which includes a complete Thanksgiving dinner for over 100 of our clients and their families. Each basket consists of a donated turkey, canned goods, dessert, and holiday goodies for the children. We ask volunteers to help assemble and deliver the Thanksgiving baskets to our families.
  
  Holiday Party - December 14, 2007
  Our annual holiday party is an evening where our clients, their families and staff can eat, dance, and socialize together. We supply over 300 toys for the children. We solicit donations of toys from various vendors and donors. We also provide each adult with a gift. Volunteers and staff donate time to help at this event.

• The Living Room
  The Living Room is a bi-weekly program held every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. The program is offered free to all Staten Islanders. We have various community presenters come to the Living Room and present on healthy living. After each presentation we serve a healthy dinner.

• We invite presenters from:
  Pharmaceutical companies to talk about new treatments, new clinical trials and the latest medication. Various community service providers can come and discuss new programs and provide updated information. We host an annual Holistic Health Fair where clients can experience holistic modalities, such as Reiki, acupuncture, therapeutic touch, and massage therapy. We have local community entertainers, such as comedians, storytellers, meditation, and poetry. We also provide an area for participants, children. The children's area offers homework assistance, arts and crafts, and gym activities.
  

These program functions with the help of community donors and dedicated volunteers.
