But for those of us who are in a position to help with a little bit of our free time, we can do so much good for our neighbors by lending a hand. I encourage everyone in the community to reach out, either to help or if they need help to reach out to these and other local institutions." https://yonkersnewswire.com/index.php/2021/04/09/for-immediate-release-yonkers-county-legislator-jose-alvarado-is-spotlighting-two-more-opportunities-for-local-residents-to-help-out-and-to-get-help/
