Ways of Giving - Robert Jimenez

A Message from the Chairman of the Board
Robert Jimenez

On behalf of Head Start of Rockland (HSR) and the nearly 900 low income children and families we serve, we ask that you consider making a charitable contribution to support construction of the new Second Avenue Head Start Center in Spring Valley, New York or other HSR facility, equipment and service projects.

The new Second Avenue Head Start Center will cost approximately five million dollars ($5,000,000). HSR has raised $3.3 million to date and anticipates an additional $1 million from a variety of public funding sources. Now, Head Start for the first time in its 40 year history is initiating a private philanthropy drive to bring in the nearly one million dollars needed for this and other facility, equipment and early childhood education program needs here in Rockland County

The Second Avenue Head Start Center when fully funded will have 14 classrooms and serve 170 low income children and their families. By taking part in Head Start of Rockland’s first fund drive, you help ensure the future success of these children. This project will have a profound positive impact on low income children attending Head Start, their families, and on the entire Spring Valley community and all of Rockland County.

Your tax-deductible contribution to the Annual Philanthropy Campaign helps Head Start of Rockland remain on the cutting edge of early child-hood and preschool education and to meet the growing demand for its services. With your support, we can provide superior opportunities for education preparation and children’s success in school and beyond.

Join the cause in this our 40th Anniversary Year. Thank you for your generosity.
