Hamilton-Madison House

Happy Pride Month!🌈Our CONNECT team is hosting "We Grew Anyway" — a celebration of q***r joy and resilience and we'd love for you to be part of it.

Join us on June 25 from 3–6pm at Orchard Alley Community Garden on East 4th Street. The celebration will feature mindful art, gardening activities, reflective storytelling, music, and refreshments. We will also be sharing mental health and community resources available here at HMH ☺️

Last week, Hamilton-Madison House joined Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and other NY Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) legislators, community organizations, advocates, and activists in the 2026 AAPI Summit. It was wonderful to connect with others on supporting and mobilizing the AAPI community in New York!

We want to thank everyone who participated and performed in our Mother's Day celebration last week at 50 Madison! Although Mother's Day comes once per year, everyday at HMH we are reminded of the dedication and devotion of moms 🧡

How do we take care of the mental health of the older adults in our lives? And if you are an older adult, how can you ask for help?

HMH’s mental health worker, June, shares signs to watch out for and ways to reach out. Let’s do our best to take care of each other.

Happy AAPI Heritage Month, Older Americans Month, and Mental Health Awareness Month!

In light of all these celebrations, HMH is hosting a Community Health Fair on May 30, 12-4PM, at 50 Madison St. There will be health resources, science activities for kids, performances from older adults, free food, and more! Come find out about HMH’s offerings, with help from our partner orgs, like the amazing RTW Foundation.

Last week, we hosted a food pantry at our City Hall Older Adults Center. We want to thank all the volunteers and staff who assisted in the packing and distribution of 200 bags! The bags were full of nutritious goodies, which our older adults were happy to receive. Special thank you to Trinity Church for their food donation 🧡

Our ECE kids were so excited for story time! Thank you to our Guest Reader, Melissa, and her wonderful reading of Strega Nona. We welcomed this opportunity to boost the children's literacy skills, and they even got to take copies of Strega Nona home with them. 📚🧸

We want to thank Dr. Lisa Scott-McKenzie, Commissioner of NYC Aging, for visiting our Hamilton-Madison House’s City Hall Older Adult Center! Our older adults were delighted by her kind words and warm presence. We look forward to continuing our partnership with NYC Aging, especially as more older New Yorkers are looking to ease isolation, stay active, and connect with culturally and linguistically appropriate services.

We will be working with the Lotus Project Workshop to deliver an Asian American/Asian mental health workshop that focuses on trauma-informed care. The workshop will take place on April 23, 9-5PM, at Kimball Hall. Register based on the information on the second slide and we look forward to seeing you there!
