Corporate Service Center Heritage of Latinx Alliance Committee and Members at The Father’s Heart Ministry in Lower Manhattan
Members of HOLA, the Heritage of LatinX Alliance Employee Resource Group at Mount Sinai Health System, in April once again partnered with The Father’s Heart Ministries for a community event.
HOLA member Paul Sanabria, Project Manager, Quality Operations, and Kelley Gonzalez, Trainer I, Application Training, Digital and Technology Partners, The Mount Sinai Hospital, arranged for volunteers to return on Saturday, April 23, to help at the organization’s soup kitchen and food pantry located in Lower Manhattan.
This time each HOLA member took on a different task in order to get a different experience while participating in the program. This experience has allowed the volunteers to meet many new people. They were able to serve 1,016 thankful guests.
“This initiative shows HOLA continuous efforts to give back to the community, while representing Mount Sinai Health System’s values of commitment to caring,” says Shawn Lee, Associate Director of Operations, Central Billing Office, Faculty Practice Associates. “The experience also reminds us that we should appreciate what we have and how important it is to help those in need of some assistance.”
The Father Heart Ministries offers a variety of programs, such as the soup kitchen and food pantry, tutoring, and job training programs.
