Settlement houses in New York are tasked with supporting communities throughout every crisis the city faces. Sunnyside Community Services was among the many organizations that adapted their services during the COVID-19 pandemic to continue aiding hundreds of older adults each day.
Shyvonne Noboa, the division director for senior services at Sunnyside Community Services, said that she and her team did everything they could to stay connected with seniors after the center closed due to the pandemic, providing home care and access to food, as well as making over 28,000 wellness calls throughout the pandemic.
