This marks the second year that The Children’s Institute Center for Independence Young Adult Program brought Thanksgiving baskets to homeless families at Harmony House. Bottom: Rudolph Jr. and Michelle Hedrington and 10 other families received baskets from the group, which Program Director Kimberley Mitchell-Rushmore says are moderate to high-functioning on the spectrum. The baskets included turkey and fixings as well as household items.
For more than 50 years, New Community Corporation has walked the walk of social justice, helping residents of inner cities improve the quality of their lives to reflect individual God-given dignity and personal achievement. After all, NCC was birthed from the literal ashes of the civil disorders of 1967 by a core group of Black community leaders and White allies, including a young priest named William Linder. Together, they modeled through word and deed the moral principle and reality that Black Lives Matter.
Today, just as in 1967, NCC joins in solidarity with all those who seek justice and an end to police brutality and racism.
