Congratulations to ELIJA Farm in Dix Hills on the ribbon cutting of their new Learning and Engagement Center!
It was wonderful to join the ELIJA Farm community in celebrating this exciting milestone and the continued growth of an organization dedicated to providing meaningful educational, vocational and community opportunities for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities, led by their founder and visionary Deb Thivierge. The new center was built with funding provided by a Suffolk County Economic Development JumpSMART grant.
I am always happy to support the important work of ELIJA Farm, including through annual grant funding for their Fall Festival, which will be taking place this weekend! Congratulations again to everyone at ELIJA Farm, and thank you for all you do for our community!
