The Hepatitis B Education & Free Screening event, hosted by the YWCA Community Support Center, was a great success. The KCS Liver Health team provided an informative session on Hepatitis B, covering symptoms, prevention, and treatment, followed by free on-site screenings. Lili Li from Queens Presbyterian Hospital joined us to share health-related resources and offer giveaways to community members. Leah, a medical student from Touro University, was also present to assist throughout the event.

January 15, 2025 NYIC New York Immigration Council Member Congress in Albany, January 2025 On January 12-14th, 2025, Directors from the YWCA of Queens participated in the NYIC Member Congress conference in Albany to stand together for the rights of all immigrants and New Yorkers. The informative and awareness raising sessions included remarks by Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and a high energy Press Conference with Senator John Liu and NY State Representative Catalina Cruz. During the three-day conference, workshops raised awareness about the many ways to protect, support and celebrate our immigrant community. We worked side by side in unity of purpose, strategizing, marching to the Capital and meeting with elected officials. Representing the precious members of the YWCAQ, together with youth led teams from dozens of non-profits, we shared our stories and requests for crucial bills to be passed. These include the NY for All Act, Language Access, CARE Act to fund legal services, and the Working Families Tax Credit to protect and support Immigrants and New Yorkers. Hard-working, value creating Immigrant families are the backbone of our state from hospital, restaurant and industrial workers, to caregivers, teachers, artists and entrepreneurs who have always been here to build and enable New York to thrive. The YWCA of Queens will continue to strengthen its advocacy and support of immigrants and all people as the very foundation and mission of our organization to continuously strive to eliminate poverty and racial injustice.
We stopped by FDNY Engine 274 and the 109th Precinct to show our appreciation for those who serve our community! As a token of gratitude, we delivered special Lunar New Year gifts to celebrate the holiday and thank them for their dedication. #LunarNewYear #CommunitySupport
We are excited to share a wonderful moment from our recent Rice Cake Soup Sharing Event, where we gathered with over 300 community members to celebrate the Lunar New Year. For the first time, New York State public schools observed the Lunar New Year as an official holiday, allowing many youth volunteers to join us in this meaningful event. We were also honored to have Council Member Sandra Ung participate, making this gathering even more special for our YWCA members and the local community.

YWCAQ Senior Programs celebrate "New Year, New You!" On January 23rd more than 20 clients from two of the YWCA Queens senior programs gathered to celebrate the Lunar New Year and each other's health and wellness accomplishments. The celebration is part of an event "New Year, New You" and featured a visual and interactive Lunar New Year presentation by our client Norma Chin. This was followed by a lively discussion on staying healthy in 2025 with our RN, Cecilia Ma. Clients asked questions, registered for Cecilia's weekly health class and happily shared their own successes and resolutions.
