This autumn, HFH Family Residences were alive with seasonal festivities, from Halloween to Día de Los Muertos. Here’s a look at how the HFH community came together to celebrate!
Thanks to a donation from Village Community School and volunteers from the NYPD Community Affairs team, Allie’s Place Family Residence kicked off Halloween with a costume distribution event. Families chose the perfect disguise with the help of volunteers and staff before painting pumpkins, jamming out to bewitching tunes, and enjoying treats from the Culinary Team. Later in the week, they rocked out at a Halloween bash featuring games, crafts, and a costumed Family Services team leading everyone in a Halloween-inspired Electric Slide.
At Allie’s Place Early Ed, the littlest trick-or-treaters donned their best costumes and paraded through the halls, stopping at Administration and Family Services offices to collect sweets and spread the spooky spirit.
In honor of Día de Los Muertos, culinary students at Allie’s Place Center for Culinary Education & Employment whipped up a traditional feast. From Mole Pipián Verde to sweet Calabaza en Tacha, the workshop highlighted dishes that bring families together in celebration of life and remembrance.
Clinton Family Residence hosted a fang-tastic Halloween gathering with a special visit from MLB Store NYC. Families, decked out in costumes, came for pizza, candy, and a gourd-geous line-up of activities, including a classic bean bag toss.
Prospect Early Ed’s little artists dove into pumpkin painting with autumn colors galore! They experimented with mixing colors as they brought their fall masterpieces to life.
Saratoga Afterschool brought down the haunted house with a Halloween performance. The kids took to the stage in their creepiest costumes for choreographed dances that thrilled their friends and family.
Saratoga Early Ed’s Halloween parade and costume party were a scream! After trick-or-treating around the building, families joined the kids for pumpkin painting, witch hat decorating, and ring toss—with Halloween-themed treats to match the spook-tacular celebration.
Williamsbridge Family Residence was transformed into a wicked wonderland courtesy of Knock Knock Give a Sock and Lev Capital. Families enjoyed a lively carnival, complete with cape and mask decorating and slime-making.
