Our first project was dedicated to helping the homeless. The team of five went to the Bethany House of Long Island to meet with the owners of the Bethany House. We donated robes and slippers during the winter and we've made a commitment to bring dinner to those in the house(s) at least once a month. We also take time to get to know the kids by hosting family game nights.
Dinner at Bethany House
Using money from our previous Chipotle fundraiser, Gratus donated 8 robes for mothers at the Bethany House. Our members Ada and Sherry dropped off the robes on June 28th, 2021, and the Bethany House was grateful to receive the robes!
With our school supplies drive, our objective was to provide materials to children unable to afford school supplies.
In partnership with the Jericho Red Cross, we were able to raise a total of 195 items, which were put towards Long Island Cares! We hope to continuously provide more goods towards similar causes in the future.
Our team hosted a fundraiser for the COVID-19 pandemic. The money that we received went towards purchasing masks and machines for hospitals.
