When In Need Foundation Completed A Successful Mission of Mercy at Forestdale Inc.
The When In Need Foundation kicked off the Summer Season of Missions of Mercy in Queens, NYC at Forestdale Inc. They will be donated needed items and food to families in need serviced through Forestdale Inc. on Tuesday, May 26.
When in Need is traveling to South America later in the week to visit orphanages and donate much needed items to across the continent.
When in Need Founder and CEO Ms. Chetachi Ecton is not only a passionate and compassionate visionary but was inspired by the work of Mother Teresa. Mission of Mercy is to help make a difference by spreading love and helping those in need especially orphans and those challenged by one disability or another. When Ms. Ecton heard of the work that Forestdale is doing from Director Anstiss Agnew she knew that she needed to become involved.
Forestdale’s mission is to ensure that children have the fundamental assets they need to thrive: a safe and loving home, health literacy, and education and career opportunity. With a history of service dating to 1854, we serve as a resource for over 1,000 families in crisis from Astoria to Far Rockaway.
Forestdale’s Foster Care & Adoption services provide safe and nurturing homes to help more than 700 youth ages 0-21 achieve their personal, academic and professional goals. • The Preventive program helps 70 families per year avoid foster care intervention with intensive counseling to address unemployment, truancy and mental illness. • Every year the Fathering Initiative prepares 250 noncustodial fathers to become more active and involved caregivers through parenting classes, anger management seminars and coparenting counseling. The Passport to Parenting offers pregnant and parenting teens access to health services and parenting work.
