~A sneak preview of Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Josh Fox's latest film – which features us! Followed by a Q&A with Josh Fox himself.
~Guided tours of the community center. Our staff will share their memories of Sandy and you get to share yours!

~Special guest performers we will announce shortly!
~FOOD!
We hope you'll join us for this joyous event.
Three years ago, the Rockaways were devastated. The Action Center, a local non-profit, stepped up and saved people’s lives. Today we provide everything from food and clothing to job training and music classes. We give people hope, get them on their feet and pull them out of poverty.
Organized by
The Action Center operates on the premise that all parents want the same things for their children regardless of family make-up, orientation, hue, culture, or financial status. With this premise in mind, Our Mission is “to feed and empower those we serve to move beyond the lines of poverty.” Our objective is to move each one of them from where they are when they come to us to some other point along the continuum away from the lines of poverty… and keep moving them as much as we can.
