The Hamilton-Madison House and the Two Bridges Neighborhood Council want to thank everyone who came out to our Census and Community Day Event on Thursday, Oct 1st at the community basketball courts on Cherry Street! 

Our HMH Caregiver Program, funded by NYC Department for the Aging, was present and its members spread the word about the importance of filling out the Census and promoted our Caregiver services.  We provide support to older adults 65+ living in NYC and their caregivers who speak Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.  We are committed to the well-being of older adults and their families and provide culturally sensitive care and support through a multicultural and intergenerational community-care lens.
