The Staten Island Advance reports on our recent Metsgiving event. As they report, the 155-year-old community partner, The New York Foundling, which offers opportunities and programs to over 30,000 people in New York and Puerto Rico, collaborated with the Amazin’ Mets Foundation to give away 500 turkeys to families of Staten Island.
Patch reports on The Foundling’s recent Fall Fête. The event hosted over 400 guests at its Fall Fête 2024 on Wednesday at Cipriani 25 Broadway in Manhattan, and raised more than $825,000, which will go to support The Foundling’s 40 programs spanning education, child welfare, community health and behavioral health, juvenile and criminal justice, and support for people with disabilities.
In a news report in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, NY1 Noticias interviews Delila Nadal, director of our Staten Island Community Partnership, and reports on the program’s weekly Free Market, which provides food and household goods for over 80 families on Staten Island’s North Shore each week.
“When I was a child, my family and I used to use food pantries and it was a horrible thing because they would throw you a box, a bag and that was it. But in this food pantry it is a little different because it is a personalized attention that each person receives,” she explains.
“Delila Nadal says she never stops working – from picking up phone calls to unloading food from trucks and unboxing it – because she says her work is imperative to a hungry community. Nadal is the director of the Staten Island Community Partnership, a program under The New York Foundling that provides social services to anyone struggling,” shares NY1.

NYN Media reports on the opening of our mural at Vital Brookdale, our supportive housing complex, in Brownsville, Brooklyn.
“You got to put yourself back here a year ago when it was just a blank wall, and now it feels like there’s something vibrant, it feels like there’s something that reflects the neighborhood and is also aspirational in some ways,” says Dante DeBlasio, who worked as project manager for the project.
