Commending RiseBoro Community Partnership upon the occasion of hosting its 8th Annual Gala on September 25, 2025
The resolution highlights the extensive efforts of RiseBoro Community Partnership, which has been active since 1973, to create a New York City where individuals are not limited by their zip codes regarding health, housing stability, or economic opportunity. RiseBoro offers over 150 programs spanning workforce development, education, housing, food access, and support for older adults. Their initiatives have yielded measurable results, including managing significant numbers of senior care cases and delivering home meals to those in need, thus making a notable impact on the lives of many New Yorkers.
Bill K00812, also known as Assembly Resolution No. 812, commends the RiseBoro Community Partnership for its significant contributions to the quality of life in communities across New York State. This resolution recognizes the organization on the occasion of its 8th Annual Gala, scheduled for September 25, 2025, at The Edison Ballroom in New York City. It emphasizes the long-standing traditions of the Legislative Body to honor worthwhile organizations dedicated to improving community welfare.
While the bill serves as a commendation, it shines a light on the larger conversation about community support and the importance of organizations like RiseBoro in driving systemic change and fostering equity. The resolution does not propose any changes to existing laws; however, it serves to remind stakeholders and the public of the vital role community organizations play in addressing social issues and promoting community wellness across the state.
