FXFOWLE joined forces with New York Cares to spend a Saturday afternoon with over thirty students from Our Lady Queen of Angels Elementary School in East Harlem. Volunteers met the children at the Brooklyn Children's Museum to explore the current exhibits together, participate in an exciting learning-based scavenger hunt, and finish the outing with a pizza party!
New York Cares was founded by a group of friends who wanted to take action against serious social issues that faced our city in the late 1980s. Finding few options to help, they created their own organization to address the problems from the ground up.
New York Cares is now the city's largest volunteer management organization, running volunteer programs for 1,300 nonprofits, city agencies, and public schools. Today's volunteers share our founders' vision that we all have a role to play in making our city a better place.
FXFOWLE is the first architecture firm to sponsor the organization.
