Nonprofits are offering a number of responses to the recent tragedy at the American Civic Association.
Catholic Charities
In response to the tragedy at the American Civic Association on April 3rd, Catholic Charities was asked to provide a safe haven for family members, friends and colleagues of those involved where they would have access to information from the police, food and counselors. Many of the people released from the Civic Association were later brought to Catholic Charities to be reunited with their families and friends.
Catholic Charities will be offering a hospitality center for persons who would like to connect with each other after Friday’s tragedy at the American Civic Association. We understand that teachers, students and others who have a relationship with the Civic Association may be seeking a place to share their thoughts and feelings and we would like to offer a place for comfort and support. Individuals seeking immediate counseling should continue to contact the hotline at 778-3911.The Hospitality Center at 232 Main Street in Binghamton will be open on Monday, April 6th & Tuesday, April 7th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Appointments are not necessary.
