Join us for drinks, apps, and to learn more about the difference between a DV Shelter and a DV Safe Dwelling. Tuesday, October 24th at Hudson Grill - White Plains from 5-7:30pm.

Thank you PCSB bank for supporting First Steps To Heal!

"As a customer of PCSB Bank, I value the true community banking experience I get when I walk into my local branch. I’m greeted by name with a warm smile and it is little things like this, that make all the difference. As a nonprofit that provides emergency shelter to Domestic Violence Survivors, I was not only connected to the Branch Manager but also the head of Diversity and Community Development who listened to my needs and introduced me to some people who she thought I should know in this space. A bank that cares about the success of our nonprofit and the work we do, is one that will always have my business.”
