Celebrating Success at the 4th Annual P.A.D. Party 🌟

The DEI committee is thrilled to announce that this weeks 4th annual P.A.D. (Providing Access and Dignity) Party on MLK Day of Service was a resounding success! 🙌

Despite challenging weather, our amazing volunteers, including GRAWA members, the National Council of Jewish Women, and the Greater Rochester community, came together to make a difference. Thanks to their dedication, we exceeded our goal and assembled 423 menstrual product kits for local nonprofits like Mothers in Need of Others, Refugees Helping Refugees, and more!

A heartfelt thank you to our community partners at Causewave and Harris Beach for their invaluable support. Together, we’re making Rochester a more compassionate place, one step at a time! ❤️✨

We would like to thank each of the candidates who attended our Judicial Candidate Luncheon last week. Each candidate took the time to answer questions drafted by those in the room.
