🥭 CPC X National Grid 🥬

CPC partnered with National Grid for two special food distribution events at CPC Brooklyn Community Services during AAPI Heritage Month.

More than 20 National Grid volunteers joined us to pack and distribute fresh produce, including mangoes, bananas, and cabbages, to over 900 community members.

Rising food costs have made it hard for many families to access healthy food. We are grateful for partners like National Grid who help support our ongoing bi-weekly food distribution program to ensure community wellbeing and that fresh food reaches those who need it most. 💙

Happy Pride Month! 🌈 We are excited to share that Cowen, CPC's Chief Policy and Public Affairs Officer, has been named a 2026 City & State Pride Trailblazer by City & State NY!

Carlyn oversees our public policy, advocacy, government affairs and community engagement work and helped build an advocacy program that engages over 2,000 staff and community members each year. They also helped secure state funding for AAPI organizations and serve as co-chair of the board for Jews for Racial and Economic Justice.

Join us in celebrating Carlyn and all the LGBTQ+ leaders making their voices heard across New York. 👏

In honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and Child Care Provider Appreciation Month, CPC's Early Childhood Learning & Wellness Services celebrated 210 licensed family child care providers at our very first Provider Appreciation Luncheon. 🎉

Thank you to these dedicated providers for your partnership, commitment, and support. You are essential to strengthening child care and creating brighter futures for our children.

Every child deserves access to quality childcare. Every family deserves support. And every childcare provider deserves dignity, respect, and fair pay. This year’s State budget made historic investments in Statewide pre-K, free 2-K for NYC, and investments in pilot programs for 0-3 year olds statewide. Thank you Governor Kathy Hochul, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, and Assembly Speaker Carl E. Heastie for investing in our littlest New Yorkers and working families. CPC was proud to advocate alongside New Yorkers United for Child Care and other partners for this win. Let’s keep up the fight to secure fair wages for the providers who care for and educate our communities every day, and to guarantee universal childcare for every child in New York.

CPC Adult Literacy Program x NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital 🤝

We partnered with NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital for a language-accessible workshop on navigating the emergency room, learning about patient rights, interpreter services, mental health support, and more.

Our students learn English to support their kids, navigate city services, find jobs, and become citizens. This workshop checked those boxes and will help improve lives in our immigrant community. 🙏

Ifsa Fareed, a participant in CPC’s Learn and Earn program and a new member of our Youth Policy Team, shares how CPC helped her find her voice through mentorship, peer learning, and supportive spaces where her perspective was heard and valued.

What began as hesitation turned into confidence—and a deeper understanding of what advocacy truly means.

Her experience reflects the impact of CPC’s youth programs: creating space for young people to grow into informed, empowered leaders who can drive change in their communities.

Donate to CPC’s Give in May campaign to help more students like Ifsa gain the tools, support, and confidence to lead.
