From the Volunteer Director,
Showing Up, Together
This month has been a beautiful reminder of the power of community. From celebrating Good Deeds Day with service and connection, to gathering in the spirit of Passover and supporting one another with care and tradition, we have shown what it means to show up—for each other and for something greater than ourselves.
We also came together to pack hundreds of swag bags and give out t-shirts and bibs for the upcoming Riverdale 5K & Fun Run on May 4. We poured intention into every detail to ensure a welcoming, joyful experience for all participants. The energy is building, and the big day is just around the corner!
With only a few days left, there are limited spots to register, volunteer, or cheer on your neighbors. I hope you’ll join me—bring your spirit, your sneakers, and your love for this community. Together, we keep proving: when we show up with purpose, we go farther than we ever imagined.
See you at the Run!
Warm regards,
Alexandra Nyashina
Director of Volunteer Services
