Today we sponsored @yonkersymca_snug clothes drive for the homelessness and those in need. The team did an amazing job coordinating and executing the event. S/o @lil_beasley_jr for assisting us put the event together.
Yonkers SNUG - in campaigning anti-violence and gang prevention awareness - works to support and uplift the community in the City of Yonkers. More clothes drives and community outreach to come!
.
S/o to everyone who donated clothing for this event. Please dm us or @yonkersymca_snug if you’re interested in donating quality used clothing for those in need during the cold weather.
.
We will continue to extend our services for our city — filling the void the powers overlook or ignore
.
In our words, You’re Not Alone‼️‼️‼️
‼️‼️‼️‼️
Oftentimes the struggle post-incarceration is more difficult than doing the time!! Our society needs to be progressive in extending services and resources to returning citizens in order to close the revolving door and allow individuals to maximize on a chance of freedom
‼️‼️‼️‼️

The 914UNITED team is proud to announce the “Streets Give Back Program”, which aims to support returning citizens reintegrating into the Lower Hudson Valley!
.
This program will provide returning citizens with brand new apparel donated by Yonkers-based fashion brands along with various support re-entry services via Yonkers Snug and other local organizations and agencies!!
.
The City of Yonkers needs to focus on supporting and uplifting the formerly incarcerated. There’s not enough essential resources and support necessary for re-integration, and 914UNITED is working to fulfill the current void!
.
We have returning citizens on our team who is a voice and a support for those coming home!
.
We want to thank Pamela’s Big Heart Foundation (@pamelasbigheartfoundation) for collaborating with us and all the fashion brands who kindly donated to the cause. This movement is only possible because of all of you!!
.
Follow our sponsors and support their movement.

Co-Founder & Executive Director Jonathan Alvarez is featured on Black Westchester Magazine this week for the 2021 Black History Month Series: The BROY - Black Renaissance of Yonkers.

Thank you @blackwestchester for the feature! Shout out to Dennis Richmond Jr (@newyorkstakz) for writing this great segment. Together we are defining a new renaissance. #blackhistorymonth
This post captures the release of Co-founder & Director Jonathan Alvarez on October 15, 2018, leaving Eastern C.F after serving a 15-year prison term.
.
For those unaware of his story, he was incarcerated at 17 years-old and returned home at age 30, ready, willing, and able to be a productive contribution to society.
.
It is Alvarez’s experience with the criminal justice system & his support from Co-founder John Cabrera (@jcabrera221) & family that inspired 914UNITED Inc to serve, support, and uplift returning citizens!
.
Although there are a few programs in the City of Yonkers providing services and resources to those returning home from incarceration, we need more. Many return to our community in dire need of food, jobs, counseling, clothing, shelter, and the pool of available resources are limited! Our organization is working to fill the current voids in our city by making essential resources and support available regarding food, clothing, and mentorship services.
.
Our team is new and passionate to serve and support not only the youth but the formerly incarcerated in unprecedented ways in our city!
.
Remember we are credible team of change agents working to change narratives!! We are game changers working to change the socio-political landscape in our city, one step at a time.
.
914UNITED Inc stands with and behind those returning home seeking a second chance at life! We believe in second chances!!
.
Support us to support the movement
