Yedei Chesed

A few weeks ago, we hosted a beautiful Pre-Chanukah Event for our dedicated mothers! Victoria Dwek joined us with an amazing cooking demo and taught us all recipes for quick and easy dinners as well as great tips for the kitchen. All participants got the newly released cookbook "Dinner Done" and enjoyed a delicious dairy dinner.... *Social distancing and Covid precautions were practiced.

We still can't get over the fun we all had at the Comhab Chol Hamoed trip to the Crayola Factory!

We are pleased to announce the grand re-opening of the Women’s Day Program’s newly renovated location! The renovated facility includes many wonderful amenities that will greatly enhance the program. These include activity rooms which are designed to improve cognitive, social, and emotional development, and a state-of-the-art kitchen, which will enable the ladies to cook and bake their own meals. The Women's Day Programs are run by Mrs. Miriam Leah Schmeltzer, in conjunction w...ith Mrs. Suri Spielman. A seamless program of educational, social, and vocational opportunities which are coordinated with the person's home environment is provided. There is also an emphasis on community inclusion. Small groups take short trips into the community each day, which include volunteering at local businesses, shopping, and recreational activities at local parks. Life has its challenges and opportunities and for each person they are unique. For some, the availability of the right tools, guidance, and support brings about the opportunity to meet these challenges in the best way possible. With this strong foundation, each day brings a chance to celebrate accomplishments, discover individuality, and understand what brings happiness. At Yedei Chesed, people are presented with a wide array of skill-building opportunities that foster individual independence and productivity, greatly enhancing each person's quality of life. To find out more about these fantastic programs, please contact Mrs. Miriam Leah Schmeltzer at 845.425.0887 ext. 218.

The Magic Moment Respite program ran a fun and enriching Tisha B’av program yesterday for the kids from 1:00 until 6:00 in the afternoon. They started the day by singing together and made a Tisha B’av craft. They then heard the Tisha B’av story in an interactive setting and watched an engaging video of the Beis Hamikdash. On behalf of all the children and their families, we’d like to thank the program coordinator, Mrs. Suri Spielman, and her devoted staff for providing such a fantastic program for the children and for giving the families a much-needed break on the fast-day.

Caring for a child with disabilities is certainly demanding. Parents find themselves pulled in different directions: providing their child with round-the-clock attention while keeping up with the demands of a growing family. This task can be very overwhelming at times, and that's where Yedei Chesed steps in. Our Respite Programs offer a wide range of options, providing parents with a much-needed reprieve. However, unlike most respite programs, our goal at Yedei Chesed goes be...yond giving parents the break they deserve. Our programs are geared towards the needs of each person, creating a person-centered, stimulating, and gainful experience. Below, we listed some of the fantastic programs in the Respite Department. Stay tuned for more details!
