On Thursday, October 26, 2017, Unique People Services (UPS) will
celebrate our 26th Anniversary Gala at Marina Del Ray in the Bronx.
This milestone event is vital in supporting our mission of providing
homes and comprehensive support service to people with special needs,
helping to raise awareness for hundreds of business owners and friends
of UPS who share our vision to transform lives. Our gala theme, “A
Celebration of Unique People,” will once again encapsulate the
important work that we do and the hundreds of lives we touch each
year. Proceeds from this year’s event will support the 2017
opening of UPS’ first affordable housing project, Lynn’s Place,
enabling low income New Yorkers and individuals with a mental illness
to thrive in the community. Some of the proceeds will also help to
support programs ineligible for government funding, such as UPS’ Art
Program, staffed by volunteers from Beacon Therapy Services. Funds
raised will help to secure necessary supplies and materials, enabling
individuals with developmental disabilities to express themselves
through art.
Another such program that would be benefitting from this year’s
donations is our food pantry which serves people living with HIV/AIDS.
UPS currently receives city council discretionary funds from City
Council Person Elizabeth Crowley to purchase food to provide
supplemental healthy choices for these individuals. We annually serve
between 700-800 people. UPS has recently partnered with the NY Food
Bank to be able to purchase even more food that can eventually also be
distributed in the community.
Through the generosity of our friends and donors, UPS will be able to
further our reach within our programs and throughout the community. We
appreciate your partnership in helping to make this critical endeavor
possible.
_Please be advised that the 2017 Unique People Services 26__th__
Anniversary Gala is a 21+ event._
