  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative  Body  to  foster  the
health  and  well-being  of  its  citizens and engage in a conscientious
commitment to advancing the empowerment and advocacy for individuals  of
immigrant  status and low-income families across this great State of New
York; and

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern  and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the  Community  Resource  Center  in
Mamaroneck,  New  York  to be celebrated on Thursday, March 30, 2023, at
the St. Thomas Church with a 25th Birthday Party for the Center; and

  WHEREAS, Individuals and  organizations  devoted  to  improving  the
quality  of life for others, enabling them to build lives of dignity and
self-worth are deserving of the highest praise and recognition; and

  WHEREAS, From time to time, society calls upon these individuals and
organizations  to  be  recognized  for   the   significance   of   their
contributions  and  efforts  to  assist  others in developing the skills
necessary to be successful, productive citizens; and

  WHEREAS, Since  their  founding  in  1998,  the  Community  Resource
Center,  formerly  the  Hispanic Resource Center, has provided resources
and advocacy to empower immigrant and low-income families to  help  them
become self-reliant and thriving members of the community; and

  WHEREAS,   The   Community  Resource  Center's  vision  is  to  help
Westchester County  become  a  community  that  embraces  diversity  and
provides opportunities for all its residents; and

  WHEREAS,  Having  grown  from  a  community  initiative and referral
organization to one that provides comprehensive direct  client  services
and  programs,  the  Community  Resource  Center  provides  a  myriad of
educational  programs,  case  management  and  referral  services,   and
advocates for immigrants and low-income families in need; and

  WHEREAS,  In the past year, the Community Resource Center has served
nearly 4,000 adults, youth, and children in three  primary  areas:  case
management  and social services, educational programs and workshops, and
worker  center,  which  aids  those  seeking  employment   through   job
placement; and

  WHEREAS,  With unwavering commitment to its community, the Community
Resource Center listens to its clients and their families to help create
a plan for individuals to live out the life they imagine for themselves;
and

  WHEREAS, This occasion presents an opportunity for this  Legislative
Body  to  recognize and pay tribute to the Community Resource Center for
their commendable commitment to  the  Mamaroneck,  New  York  community;

effectively  carrying  out its important mission, the Community Resource
Center has demonstrated the value of supporting individuals of immigrant
status and low-income families for over 25 years; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
