In the spirit of love and friendship, Catholic Charities celebrated Valentine’s Day across its 160+ programs with festive decorations and sweet treats while helping those in need.
At Personalized Recovery Oriented Services (PROS), clients celebrated with a prom-style Valentine’s Day party. Guests from the PROS program were welcomed with beautiful decorations, music and delicious food. All of the guests dressed for the occasion and marked each memory with photos in front of a Valentine-theme backdrop.
Older adults at the Catholic Charities Older Adult Centers received sweet cards, cupcakes, delicious treats and more at each of their centers throughout Brooklyn and Queens. Our Older Adult Centers members received cupcakes from students in their neighborhood while others were treated to a choir performance.
Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens is thankful to our staff and volunteers for making this Valentine’s Day one to remember.
