Families recently got in the back-to-school spirit at our ReLoved Boutique!

At a special community event last week, we gave out backpacks and school supplies to young students in need – setting them up for a year of scholastic success.

Thank you to everyone who joined us!

We’d also like to give a special shoutout to Supplies For Success for their generous donations. MCC is grateful for your support🎒✨

“Today marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, a moment that had a tremendously grave impact on our country, city, and Lower Manhattan. Some of us lost loved ones; others may have been displaced by the smoke and debris. The challenges and grief that followed that horrific day had a lasting impact that remains with many of us still today.

I was a high school student in New York City at that time, and as the painful memories remain vivid in my own mind, I sympathize deeply with the wide range of emotions you may be feeling as we commemorate the losses, honor the heroes, and recognize the resilience of New Yorkers.

If this anniversary is bringing up difficult memories that you would like to process with someone, please feel free to connect with our social work team. We are here for you now, just as MCC was 25 years ago.”

- Jamie Davidson Craig, MCC Executive Director

It’s the first day of school for our EC @ MCC preschoolers 🚌📓🍎

This year, we have a brand new playground on our new second floor roof terrace! One of our 3s classes enjoyed checking out the space for the very first time this morning, running around on the grassy turf, flying down the slide, and climbing up on the play mounds.

Welcome back to all our young learners. We’re excited for a fantastic school year ahead!

✨Our second floor roof terrace is officially open! ✨

We look forward to seeing community members of all ages enjoying the fresh air and sunshine up on the roof together.

Yesterday, we held a special ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate our new space. We were thrilled to host Assemblymember Assemblymember Grace Lee 李榮恩, whose support and enthusiasm for this project helped turn our dream of a community roof space into a reality.

As Assemblymember Grace Lee said in her speech last night, “MCC is a place that many people in the community call their second home.”
