On May 15, 2014, 15 employees from Pentegra Retirement Services, headquartered in White Plains, NY -- including Pentegra President and CEO John E. Pinto-- volunteered for the day at My Second Home of Family Services of Westchester in Mount Kisco, NY. The group performed a big spring clean-up and planting in the garden, as well as creating crossword puzzle white boards for use with program participants.
According to Pinto, “It was a productive and fulfilling day that we were thrilled to be a part of. My Second Home is a remarkable place. Its unique intergenerational day program -- the only one of its kind in Westchester County -- is a model for the nation. Their program brings together older adults and children on a daily basis to share activities as well as life experiences. By blending activities for adults and children, both age groups acquire an understanding of shared values and respect for individuals at every stage of life. We are honored to help them and hope to do it again!”
