On April 22nd, 2025 the East Harlem Council for Human Services, Inc. hosted its inaugural 60th Anniversary Gala at the Hall des Lumières, located at 49 Chambers St, New York, NY 10007.  The theme of our celebration was “Saving Lives, Building Futures Con Corazón y Comunidad.  It was a wonderful evening where we shared the rich history of our organization, the work we have been doing for the past 6 decades, all our programs and our vision for the future.  We also took time to recognize some special individuals and organizations that share in our mission and are working to help improve the lives of individuals from communities such as the ones we serve.  We are grateful to all who attended and supported this special event.  In case you missed it, check out our digital journal ads, our photos, our organizational video as well as our recap video.  If you are interested in donating, you still have the chance to do so by visiting https://givebutter.com/Boriken.
