RECAP

RECAP was very excited to attend Central Hudson‘s Consumer Outreach Forum this week. Central Hudson is a wonderful partner, and we look forward to this event each year.

We were exceptionally proud RECAP’s Marivette Contes Ortiz was awarded the 2026 Community Partner of the Year. Marivette is the Coordinator of the Fuel Fund at RECAP. In addition to coordinating financial utility assistance, Marivette travels the county to ensure people know about the Fuel Fund and how we can provide assistance for those in need.

Thank you, Central Hudson for recognizing Marivette’s outstanding efforts on behalf of our community.

Today is the last day to submit comments about the proposed changes to Head Start.

Today is the last day to comment on proposed changes to Head Start.

For more than 60 years, Head Start has helped children and families across New York State build a strong foundation. Community Action Agencies see that impact every day, and federal officials are required to consider every public comment before finalizing the rule.

📚📝Happy World Teacher’s Day!

Today, we celebrate the teachers and educators who inspire curiosity, build confidence, and help children discover their potential.

At RECAP, we know that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive and that starts with caring, dedicated educators like we have at our 5 Head Start locations.

Thank you to all of our teachers and the teachers throughout the community who shape brighter futures, one child at a time! 🍎🍎
