CYFS Picnic Celebrates Community and Honors Elaine Connelly

The annual Children, Youth and Family Services (CYFS) picnic brought together families for a joyful day in Prospect Park. The celebration was filled with games, music, and connection, and held special meaning as we honored the memory of longtime volunteer Elaine M. Connelly, who passed away last November, with a dedicated bench.

We spoke with a few former residents who have since moved into their own homes.
