Here and Now: Human services organization enhancing the lives of New Yorkers

Coming up on Here and Now, we learn more about a nationally recognized human services organization changing lives for more than 60 years.

For anyone facing serious life challenges, Samaritan Daytop Village is a place of hope and new beginnings.

Its services have enhanced the lives of thousands of New Yorkers for over six decades.

Joining us to discuss the organization’s work and mission are agency staffers Deidre Rice Reese, assistant vice president of resident treatment, and Clinical Director Toi C. Jackson.

Also ahead, the initiative providing much-needed support for grandparents now raising their grandchildren.

For basketball lovers: the new documentary telling the story of McDonald’s all-American games. We’ll meet the co-directors behind “Meal Ticket.”

And “Act Black” — the poster exhibit bringing early Black stage and screen productions back to life.

Here and Now with Sandra Bookman airs Sundays at 12:00 p.m. on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.
