Patrick Emproto Book Club Celebrates Helping Over 500 Families
Every December, the participants organize a book drive for families on Staten Island (since broadened to New York City) and collect funds to purchase children’s books and games for locals in need. Now in its fifth year, the Patrick Emproto Book Drive has helped over 500 families grow their personal libraries and reading engagement.
CP Unlimited’s Hudson Valley Division was on the move in 2024, relocating and upgrading facilities. This week, we took a major step forward and officially welcomed the first residents to a new home on Beechwood Avenue in Poughkeepsie, New York.
Created to honor allies in the CP network who have demonstrated a sustaining commitment to our mission and the people we support, the awards committee made a unanimous decision to present the first of its kind to Senator Pete Harckham (District 40).
