The Homeward Bound Program for Children Inc

“The growing concerns with the untreated number of cases suffering from loneliness drove us to provide religious services, to start, to people with special needs and children living with them. According to information found in many places, loneliness is causing more harm than drinking and illegal drugs in the homeward bound, people unable to easily leave their permanent residency. We are preparing to file applications for Grants for this program. Its an issue that must be handled by community programs, since the government is cutting back funds for this purpose.”

“At least two of the governing body, Edwin Rivera and Larissa Peguero, meet every day around 8:00 A.M. at 1428 Zereg Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462, to discuss collections of clothing, food, and household goods that will be shipped. We do the same things with the HBP RELIGIOUS PROGRAM. They must provide names and address of new cases for us to visit with the members of the Christian Ministry of Family Integration. Visits are done during the afternoon hours of each Sunday, after the services at the church.”

“We have two committees. PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY, and, HBP RELIGIOUS PROGRAM. They work completely independent of each other. One handles the food and household goods that need to be collected, packaged and shipped to Dominican Republic. Thats Larissa Peguero. The religious groups meet every Sunday at 8:00 A.M. We collect information about the clients and we determine who will be serviced. Thats Edwin Rivera.”

“The information compiled to prepare the 990 is done with the office staff and of course with the different committees. It takes lots of time just to organize the avenues of revenue; then the avenues of expenses. Between the different people involved and the volunteers and donors its a very hard job. Every detail reduced to the 990 is further explained to Larissa Peguero, Cesar Cubas by Edwin Rivera, Director.”
