COUNTING BLESSINGS WITH COMMUNITY RESOURCES ARTICLE BY VALERIE BIANCULLI PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY COMMUNITY RESOURCES
In a world that often moves too fast, Community Resources stands as a steadfast reminder of the power of compassion, gratitude, and community support. As we delve into their impactful work, we also explore what they’re profoundly grateful for this year and ways that you, our community members, can help to get involved. At the core of Community Resources’ mission is a commitment to supporting individuals of all ages with disabilities to reach their highest potential and provide opportunities and experiences that enable them to live rewarding and meaningful lives. They offer a number of services including residential assistance, day habilitation, supported employment and pre-school education – just to name a few. In addition to these, Community Services has nurtured a new oasis of sustenance with their fully accessible and organic ‘Serenity Garden’. This vibrant patch of land is home to bountiful peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, squash, corn, kale, romaine lettuce as well as herbs such as rosemary, thyme and basil. In addition to this, baby fig trees, pear trees and blueberry bushes are receiving the utmost care to grow into plentiful sources of food. This garden has
made a significant impact on the lives of many with weekly donations that are given to Jacobs Well Food Pantry. Once these generous donations are received, there are an average of 50-60 people a day who line up outside! “Food delivery gets there at about 10am and there are people who will wait for an hour or more to get their organic fresh produce” says Michael DeGrottole, Chief Operating Officer. Community Resources has also recently unveiled their new hydroponics room which will enable food growth all year round. They are proud to announce that there are currently about 400-500 pods prepared to grow some leafy vegetables in addition to tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. This act of kindness extends the organization’s impact beyond their immediate community, fostering a rippling effect of goodwill. During this season of giving, Community Resources sat down with us to discuss the many reasons they are grateful this year. First and foremost they are grateful for Joseph Conti, the organization’s board chair, who has been a steadfast advocate for 46 years! In recognition of his unwavering support and commitment, they have chosen to name their Serenity garden after him. CONTINUED > NOVEMB ER 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/STAT E N I S L A N D

Joseph’s legacy continues to inspire and guide the organization towards greater heights. Community Resources is also extremely grateful for their direct support professionals as well as all of their staff who tirelessly work in group homes, day programs, their pre-school etc. These unsung heroes provide critical support for individuals with diverse needs and the organization deeply appreciates their hard work and dedication. These staff members truly increase the quality of life for the people they care for and this year Community Resources was awarded a new group home, which will allow them to continue their mission of providing a safe and supportive environment for those in need, demonstrating their commitment to growth and positive change. This, among other things has brought the organization a great deal of gratitude. While they have already accomplished so much, Community Resources is always looking for ways to do more and touch more lives. This month, the Giving Tuesday movement is taking place which is an initiative to encourage people to donate to their favorite non-profits in an effort to transform communities and the world. Employing 300 individuals, with 98% based in Staten Island, Community Resources understands that their growth means more job opportunities for the local community. Their continued expansion holds the promise of empowering more individuals and families while strengthening the Staten Island work force. They invite the community to stay in touch with them by participating in their events and connecting with them on social media to stay updated on their impactful work. If you would like to make a donation to Community Resources, head to cr-si.org and hit the big green DONATE button! CONTINUED >

BUILD A CAMPFIRE READY S'MORES DESSERT BOARD WITH THIS HOW-TO GUIDE
S’MORES DESSERT BOA RD ARTICLE BY BAILEY MORRIS
It’s campfire season! You know what that means? S’MORES! These sweet treats are staples during the fall and winter! I have many childhood memories of sitting by the campfire with my family telling stories, gazing at the stars, and roasting marshmallows. This year, take your s’mores to a whole new level with this S’mores Dessert Board! They are so easy and fun to make! Similar to a Charcuterie Board, a S’mores Dessert Board is beautifully decorated and full of everything you need to make the perfect s’mores! Some of my favorite things to include in a s’mores are either peanut butter or a mint chocolate candy!
W H AT YOU W ILL NEED: Board: A beautiful wood board or metal tray will look great! Marshmallows: Choose between regular, jumbo, or flavored marshmallows. Chocolate: There are so many options for chocolate when it comes to s’mores! There’s milk chocolate, peanut butter chocolates, white chocolate, caramel chocolates, and much more! Graham Crackers: Use graham crackers or a variety of cookies for your s’mores. Fresh Fruit: Include fresh fruits as toppings for your s’mores. Skewers: Don’t forget to bring skewers to roast your marshmallows on! NOVEMB ER 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/STAT E N I S L A N D

Gather
Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving or an autumn dinner party, setting a festive table creates the perfect cozy atmosphere. Improvise and use what you have around the house for adding elements to the table. Candlesticks, vases, little pumpkins and gourds, or fall decor you have on hand can make a great centerpiece. Add fresh flowers or dried foliage for that extra layer of texture and color.

Brass candlesticks with brown taper candles create a simple and elegant centerpiece. Use familiar accents such as amber jars filled with dried grass foliage and brass pheasants to adorn the table. To add a little character to the table, use a recycled wine bottle as a vase. The simple place setting is enhanced with a dried grass accent and brown silk ribbon tied into a bow to add a special touch to your traditional display. CONTINUED >

Are you planning to dine al fresco this fall? Create an earthy, fall garden party on the porch by using natural, organic elements, greenery and flowers. To make a statement, create a floral chandelier by hanging flowers upside down above the table using fishing wire (if your space allows). The centerpiece that runs down the length of this table consists of fresh eucalyptus with gold candlesticks and a ceramic pumpkin vase filled with flowers placed on top a tree trunk charger. Adding small pumpkins and fresh flowers along the center gives a little extra character. Instead of going with the classic white plate, enjoy a pop of color at your outdoor fall garden party with a blue place setting as a nod to the sky. Adding a cloth napkin and cloth placemat is a great way to add texture and more autumn color to your table. If the weather doesn’t cooperate on your day, bring the outdoors in with a lovely indoor garden party dressed up in fall foliage.

Rustic yet elegant, this tablescape combines the love of traditional, vintage and natural elements with an updated twist. Inspired by wooded acreage, the Spode Woodland Collection transferware designs are rooted in proper hunting tradition and perfect for marrying nature with traditional elegance. Dating back to 1831, the collection features various animals centered by the British Flowers border. This French antique dining room set was chosen for an intimate gathering for four. The fawn table runner mimicking deer spots brings an earthy, yet elevated foundation as the base for this table setting. Coordinating fawn napkins wrapped with twine and topped with natural feathers creates a whimsical touch. The stunning centerpiece starts with a vintage silver water pitcher that is then filled with fresh, sweet arrowwood Viburnums leaves. To complete the look, pair crystal glasses with vintage crystal stemware, and mix gold flatware with antique silver water pitchers, delicate salt and pepper shakers and your favorite trays.
