At SCO Family of Services, we know that recurring gifts are the backbone of our mission. They provide steady, reliable support that allows us to plan ahead and deliver life-changing programs for children, youth, adults, and families across New York City and Long Island. Few people understand this better than Donna Delarosa.
As Program Director of Community Support Services, Donna sees firsthand the impact of SCO’s work every day. But her commitment doesn’t stop at her professional role, she also gives back personally as a recurring donor. Month after month, Donna contributes to ensure that the individuals and families we serve have the resources they need to thrive.
“Recurring gifts are such an important part of keeping our mission successful,” says Chief Development Officer Juliette McKenna in a recent acknowledgment letter to Donna. “Thanks to your generous monthly gift, SCO Family of Services is able to help vulnerable New Yorkers build a strong foundation for the future.”
Donna’s story is a powerful reminder that philanthropy isn’t just about one-time acts of generosity, it’s about sustained commitment. Her monthly contributions help SCO provide early childhood education, launch youth into adulthood, stabilize families, and support individuals with special needs. This consistency ensures that SCO can respond to urgent needs and invest in long-term solutions.
When asked why she gives, Donna points to the same values that guide her work: “I believe in what we do. Every dollar makes a difference, and giving monthly is my way of making sure that difference continues.”
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Art League of Long Island for their generous support of SCO Family of Services’ 2026 Back-to-School Supply Drive. The Art League graciously displayed our collection box in their gallery, providing members, visitors, and members of the community with an opportunity to give back and help local children prepare for a successful new school year.
Thanks to their partnership and the generosity of those who donated, SCO was able to collect much-needed school supplies that will directly benefit the children and families we serve. Their commitment to community engagement and helping others make a meaningful difference in the lives of our youth. Thank you, Art League of Long Island, for helping our students start the school year with confidence and the tools they need to succeed!
With your gift, you can help strengthen New York families and unlock potential for children and adults with special needs.
