Happy Independence Day from PSS!

This year, we celebrate a remarkable milestone: 250 years of American independence.

As we honor our nation's history, we also celebrate the people who continue to shape its future. Older adults have built families, strengthened neighborhoods, served their communities, and passed on traditions that continue to inspire generations.

Today is a time to reflect with gratitude, celebrate with loved ones, and recognize that our greatest strength has always been our people and the communities we create together.

From all of us at PSS, we wish you a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day.

Building capacity. Creating community.

❤️🤍💙 Happy Fourth of July!

🏆🧡💙 KNICKS FEVER IS ALIVE AT PSS HARLEM! 🧡💙🏆

Today, our members gathered at the center to watch the New York Knicks' historic ticker tape parade and celebrate a championship moment decades in the making!

As the excitement filled the room, we spoke with some of our members about what this monumental victory means to them.

From memories of past Knicks seasons to the joy of witnessing history unfold, their stories remind us that sports have a unique way of connecting generations and bringing communities together.

Congratulations to the and to every fan who kept the faith through the years! 🏀🗽🏆

Carlos Ayala took the helm of the PSS Harlem Center last December. At age 74, he lets members know he's one of them and his goal is to keep a happy and safe environment -- to make it a sanctuary.

At first the Marine gunnery sergeant with two tours in Vietnam seemed stern to the members, but they've figured out he's a softie. They call him a "Man of Action."

"If there's a problem and I can't fix it, I know who can," he says.

Carlos was working as a business developer with FEDCAP when he came to know of PSS, which was a client. He climbed 20 flights of stairs at a different PSS center to interview for the job. Over the years he's run his own radio and TV repair business, received a degree as a deacon, and traveled the world.

He'd be bored if he stayed home, he says, and demonstrates there's a role for all ages. He takes pride in having passed the required NYC Firefighters and Food Handlers' licensing exams with flying colors on his first attempt.

Carlos welcomes volunteers to join him at the center.
