A fun time with my rising 2nd grade reading buddy, his twin brother, and summer intern Ben Messafi at Yonkers Riverfront Library!

The Council of Community Services of Port Chester, Rye Brook, and Rye Town, are still accepting donations to our Mary O'Connell Campership Fund for the 2023 camp season. Without federal funding towards summer school programs in our area, many families have been left without affordable camp options this year. We are hoping to send as many children to camp as we can and that is only possible with support from the community. Please visit bit.ly/ccscampership to learn more about the fund and to sponsor a camper this season. Be sure to select "Campership" on the donation page so we know your contribution is going towards camp scholarships.
