How a holiday gift-giving program has been helping Staten Islanders in need for decades

New York’s Staten Island. Richmond University Medical Center (RUMC) is continuing its annual Adopt-A-Family initiative for the 27th year in a row, providing holiday cheer to underprivileged Staten Island families.

Thanks to the generosity of West Brighton hospital staff, local businesses and organizations, and Jennifer Dominguez’s tireless efforts, the program distributes over 500 gifts annually to Staten Island students, approximately 50 families, and 150 Head Start preschoolers.
