Funds Assist New York Dominican Community



Posted: 11/1/2001

The Diocese of New York received a $25,000 emergency grant to assist the Alianza Dominicana (the leading Dominican social service provider) in the aftermath of the American Airlines Flight #587 crash, which had a disproportionate impact on the Dominican community in the New York area.

These funds will provide emergency assistance to families suffering economic hardship as a result of lost wages.
