Harbor Child Care announced it received a $10,000 Community Partner grant from United Way of Long Island.
The funding will support the expansion of delivery services to those working families-in-need that cannot receive subsidy because they just miss the threshold within the income eligibility guidelines set forth by Nassau County. The five communities served by Harbor Child Care include New Hyde Park, Glen Cove, Manhasset, Mineola and Uniondale. Since Harbor Child Care began in 1973 they have embraced the diversity that defines Nassau County and have taken deliberate steps to provide quality child care for its diverse population, including those families that struggle financially to live and raise children on Long Island.
“We are very fortunate and thankful to have been chosen once again for this very generous grant award, and know that our presence in the communities we serve helps to sustain a very unique child caring program,” said Dr. Arnold B. Goldberg, Executive Director of Harbor Child Care.
“We couldn’t do the work that we do without our community partner agencies and the contributions they make to the residents of Long Island,” said Theresa A. Regnante, President and CEO of United Way of Long Island. “By providing funding to these organizations, it shows that they meet the highest standards of excellence in the not-for-profit sector.”
