Department for Persons with Disabilities Says Thank you to Essential Workers
Here is a message of thanks from the thoughtful adults from the Department for Persons with Disabilities.
Thank you to health care professionals, first responders, those in the military, volunteers, truck drivers, pharmacists, grocery store employees, restaurant workers, farmers, sanitation workers, warehouse and factory workers, delivery drivers, and to all Americans hard at work, during the COVID-19 crisis. We would also like to thank our own Catholic Charities employees on the front lines. Heroes!

You are welcome to tag an essential worker in the comments to thank them!
God bless you all!

Google DUO Videocalls
In an effort to allow residents of DPD’s group homes/supervised apartments programs to stay connected to their loved ones, DPD will make video conference calls using the Duo app. If you would like to do this with your family member or friend, please contact their residence directly on the regular house phone number to arrange this with our staff.
Please understand that we can only do outbound video calls at this time in order to provide proper support to those who wish to do so. We are happy to schedule this at a time that is convenient for you and can also do so spontaneously, if staff time allows, based on your request for a video call.
If you are a family member or friend and have questions please email: info@ccpaterson.org.
