Our young groovers and seasoned movers are serving the community with a little rhythm and a whole lot of heart! ❤️

Some of our volunteers are young, some are young at heart, but they all have one thing in common: kind hearts, a commitment to helping others, and a great sense of humor. They work hard, but they also know how to have fun, laugh, and bring positive energy to the pantry! Over the summer, we were especially blessed to have some of our wonderful youth volunteers join us at the YWCA Food Pantry. Many of them are high school students who willingly dedicate their time to giving back to their community. We deeply appreciate their generosity, enthusiasm, compassion, and willingness to lend a helping hand. These young volunteers brought so much joy, laughter, energy, and lightheartedness to the pantry. Their presence reminded us that volunteering is not only about giving your time—it is also about building connections, creating memories, and making a difference together.

On September 12, the YWCA of Queens Evergreen Choir celebrated its 35th Anniversary with a heartfelt benefit concert filled with music, gratitude, and hope. As nearly 300 audience members gathered to share this special milestone, voices from different generations came together to celebrate the values that have guided our choir for 35 years: connection, compassion, and community. With moving performances by the Evergreen Choir and special guest appearances by the Korean American Youth Choir of New York, the evening beautifully reflected the mission of Brain Café, a program that bridges generations and strengthens our community.To everyone who attended, supported, and believed in our mission, thank you for being part of our journey. Here's to the next chapter of harmony, friendship, and service. #35YearsOfHarmony #EvergreenChoir #BrainCafe #ThePowerOfConnection

💙 Brain Café – Week 5 This week’s theme was “Dance and the Brain,” with blue as our color of the week. Participants reflected on happy memories, learned about the connection between dance and brain health, and got moving with a fun line dance. We also shared stories about family and friends and cooled off with Patbingsu, Korean shaved ice. One participant shared, “I’m so happy to get out of the house, dance together, and enjoy delicious Patbingsu!” It was a refreshing day filled with movement, memories, and smiles. 💙 Interested in joining Brain Café?
