Deja Rin – Holly Morely – Yeliza Garcia – Hayli Heim – Rodney Cady

There were so many awesome designs submitted by our talented staff this year that it made it difficult to choose a winner, but this design submitted by Hoosick Falls captured the hearts of our Community Action Day Committee members and won the contest.

This is a friendly reminder about the opportunity to join the CEO team in the CDPHP Workforce Team Challenge on Thursday, May 21st, 2026.

It’s a fun and energizing way to connect with colleagues while supporting wellness and our local community.

As mentioned, CEO will cover a portion of the registration fee, and employees who participate will be responsible for a $20 cost.

If you’re interested in participating, please be sure to email Michelle Woodley (mwoodley@ceoempowers.org) by Monday, April 27th to secure your spot on the team.

We hope many of you will join us!!

Is your team still trying to figure out what to do for Community Action Day?

Here are some great ideas from years past to get you started!

• Conduct a drive for things like clothing, books, coats, care packages, etc.

• Have a pop-up free store with items from a drive

• Assemble and distribute food to community members in need

• Help a fellow non-profit with a special project like gardening, cleaning or painting

• Improve a shared space such as a playground, park, or public square by …

  • Gardening or landscaping

  • Removing Graffiti

  • Picking-up trash and cleaning

  • Adding bird houses

  • Planting flowers

Don’t forget you can…

• connect with other departments/sites to collaborate
• think outside the box and get creative
• connect and collaborate with outside community partners

We can’t wait to see all of the wonderful work that you do on May 8th to celebrate Community Action Day!
