A NOTE FROM JODY

It has been a difficult start to the new year for our staff and our clients, with the latest COVID wave sidelining many employees and impacting every aspect of our organization. My greatest worry is about the well-being of staff and clients—the organization will continue to thrive because we have great people on board and a culture of supporting one another. 

 
 

Putting Down Roots

Emmanuel Spiff is the garden coordinator for the JCC Harlem and Hunger-Free America, where he’s responsible for teaching children to grow food. He has deep roots in the work, having been raised on a farm. “Since I was a child, I’ve found gardening to be therapeutic,” said Emmanuel. 

After experiencing homelessness and unaddressed health challenges, the steady work is as rewarding as it is restorative.  And a new stable home to return to at the end of the day helps ensure Emmanuel can continue to improve his health and well-being. ICL’s respite center helped support Emmanuel in his journey.
