Scarsdale Families Make Holidays Brighter for Kids at Ittleson Center in the Bronx
UJA-Federation of New York's Scarsdale Community made the holidays brighter for young residents at the Henry Ittleson Center, a residential treatment facility of the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services, a UJA-Federation beneficiary agency. Ittleson helps children ages 5 to 13 who have emotional disabilities or have experienced trauma in their young lives, providing them with therapeutic and special-education services. Volunteers and residents did crafts, decorated cupcakes, and participated in gym games. The event was part of the Gift of Chanukah, a program during which UJA-Federation's Westchester communities share the season's spirit at parties with clients at a number of its beneficiary agencies.
