New York Cares Day
Every
October PS 163 community along with NY Cares helps spruce up the
interior and exterior of the school. It is a great way to kick off the
school year and helps everyone contribute and take pride in the
Wonderful 163 community!
Each year, New York Cares brings vital
volunteer support to more than 850 nonprofit agencies, public schools
and other deserving organizations throughout the five boroughs. Their
program staff work with each organization to identify their most
pressing needs, create projects where volunteers can make a meaningful
difference, and then recruit and deploy teams of volunteers to help
meet those needs. The great majority of these projects typically would
not exist if it weren't for New York Cares. Contact PS163facilities@yahoo.com
