NYS Senator Pete Harckham commemorated Senate District 40 Hispanic Heritage Month at the Hendrick Hudson Free Library by honoring four outstanding individuals and one organization for their exemplary work in the community.
The organization honored was Rockland’s own Proyecto Faro, or Project Lighthouse. This organization is an immigrant-led grassroots organization in Rockland County that has become a vital force for justice, inclusion, and community strength. With a mission rooted in dignity and solidarity, Proyecto Faro empowers immigrant families through advocacy, education, and support, while building deep alliances across cultures. The organization has created a trusted network of volunteers and partners who work together to offer safety, healing, and hope to those facing the challenges of immigration.
“I congratulate our honorees for their hard work and continued achievements,” Harckham said. “It is sometimes hard to select individuals because so many of our Latino neighbors do such outstanding work not only for the Hispanic community, but for our entire community.”
