“I had the incredible opportunity to serve as one of the lead teachers at Give Chances Organization, and it has proven to be an immensely valuable experience witnessing each student receiving support in their education and volunteers gaining various leadership and teaching experiences. Collaborating with both students and volunteers has enabled me to cultivate various transferable skills, including effective communication, attention to detail, and problem-solving. I am excited to witness further academic and personal growth in more students.”

“I love this little house. As children, we would come on school trips. It looked so big, but now, as an adult, everything looks so small. I adore the history and the fact that it's still standing in the middle of Inwood. It's a must-see if you're in the area. Trust me, when you're in the backyard, you're going to feel like you're not even in the city.”
“THIS PLACE IS A VERY HELPFUL PLACE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SEEKING HOUSING,PUBLIC ASSISTANCE AND ALSO HUNGRY THEY FEED YOU AND GIVE OUT PANTRY TOO THE COMMUNITY ITS AN AWESOME PLACE❤️ ?”

“This place offers such an amazing experience. I truly enjoyed it with my kids. I went to other children's museums in the city and this is my favorite one. I was worried about it being timed but it was so much better this way.They have activities, story time, end of day parade . Was a great experience.”

1930 Randall Ave, Bronx“Rented the ice for hockey. The staff was great and the rink was so much fun. I got to talking to management and the programs they have for kids is just incredible. Anyone who plays hockey should support what they do to get kids involved in the game at low to to no cost. They rock.”
“I was driving past and a beautiful pillow in the window caught my eye and I had to go in. This place is a treasure chest of great items for gifts for others and a few for myself! The woman that helped me the first time I stopped in was so pleasant and welcoming that I had to go back again! You will not be disappointed to make a point of stopping in.”

540 White Plains Rd, Tarrytown“The true care and compassion shown to us by Evelyn, Debra, Tina, Michelle (Aide) and Barbara (Nurse) was incredible. They allowed my mother to pass in the comfort of her home of 35 years, holding my Dad's and my hand as she took her last breath. It is the greatest privilege bestowed upon us. These ladies of Hospice are true angels on earth and we couldn't be more thankful to each of them, but, especially Barbara. You make a difference in everyone's life, Barbara. Never forget that!”

51 Milton Rd, Rye“The Encaustic Class with Mitchell has been a wonderful experience. I have always been interested in encaustic painting and this has been my first experience as a complete beginner. I have learned so much andvery much enjoy experimenting with multi mediums with encaustics. It has truly been addicting and Mitchell is a wonderful teacher that encourages creativity. I definitely plan to take another class.”
“The staff here are extremely kind and patient.They had prepared age appropriate activities for the children. Everyone was able to have a turn, feel included, and participate. As expected, safety was address first and safety rules were adhered to.I had no idea the park next to Rocking the Boat had such amazing views. It's amazingly tranquil with nice picnic style benches in the shade for a peaceful break or lunch.This is a place that would require multiple visits to get the full scope of their educational offerings and soaking in the scenery.”

Head into your closets and store rooms and drop it off where it can do someone some good.”
