Harlem Revive!: A Community Day of Unity
2014 Recap!
Hundreds of Harlemites poured into the Bradhurst neighborhood’s Jackie Robinson Park Amphitheater on Saturday, July 19th to participate in Harlem Revive!: A Community Day of Unity. Presented by Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement, Inc. (HCCI) this community affair was designed to offer a social, emotional, spiritual and financial health revival for Harlem community residents.
Conceived and produced by Rev. Dr. Charles Butler, HCCI’s Vice President of Equitable Development, Harlem Revive united local businesses which accepted job applications at the event; local clergy who offered words of encouragement; youth groups that entertained the children with arts and crafts; and community leaders and local residents who exemplified a spirit of love and community engagement.
“Today was a combined effort to empower local residents and engage them in their own edification,” said Dr. Butler. “The budget was slim, and a team of nearly 20 local residents volunteered for weeks to make this happen.” Harlem Revive! served HCCI’s mission to empower Harlemites and rebuild communities and the idea for the event came from divine inspiration.
Participating businesses included HSBC and Carver Bank which provided financial literacy information. Dunkin Donuts, Popeyes, Sweet Mama’s, Fine Fair Supermarket, Pathmark, Pioneer Supermarket, Manna’s Restaurant, Jacob’s Restaurant, Melba Restaurant, Domino’s Pizza, Charmain of Crude Foods, Starbuck’s and Subway donated food and beverages. Health screenings and information were provided by Harlem Hospital, Lincoln Hospital, Ryan Center Outreach Mobile, C.O.P.E., Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, WIC, American Heart Association and the Commission on Human Rights. Businesses such as Gap Clothing Store, Ashley Stewart, Lane Bryant, Access Wireless, Duane Reade Pharmacy and Avon tabled at the function in search of local employees.
