LSA is thrilled to partner with the Church of the Heavenly Rest for an afternoon of Art and Conversation around the immigrant experience and our shared human journey.

A Stranger and You Welcomed Me – Art Reception by LSA Family Health Service in partnership with the Church of Heavenly Rest

Sunday, February 4th, 3-5 PM Church of Heavenly Rest – Undercroft Gallery 1085 5th Avenue

Contribute as inspired

Art and asylum intersect at this event, elevating immigrant struggles to find safety and home. Centering on the Exhibition of Icons by Kelly Latimore, the works mix classic orthodox iconographic imagery with figures representing the marginalized and the oppressed among us here and now.

Featured is a new icon for the exhibition titled La Sagrada Familia NYC, and it is of a Latin American family living in a nearby shelter and receiving support services from LSA Family Health Service.

RSVP by January 29th to tgough@lsafhs.org

]]> March 4, 2017 — Around 30 staff members, families, and volunteers gathered on the Upper East Side to walk under the LSA banner in the East Harlem Solidarity March, hosted by NYC Council Speaker and East Harlem District 8 City Council representative Melissa Mark-Viverito.

Marchers held posters with positive messages of solidarity with families in the community, especially with immigrant families. LSA was joined by the team of Cada Paso, and walked with fellow community and health organizations that serve the neighborhood. The march ended at the Johnson Community Center on Lexington Avenue, where various speakers – including our own CEO, Reada Edelstein, and Child Specialist Yolanda Tovar – spoke to express messages of unity with the families we serve.
