CTA Mother’s Day Celebration

A team of volunteers from Chelsea assisted the City-Wide Tenant Association (CTA) in organizing a Mother’s Day celebration last Friday, May 8. Gladys Vega, director of the Chelsea Collaborative, helped coordinate makeovers for mothers in the program, including Mildred Valentin, president of Margolis Tenants Council. This marks the second consecutive year the initiative has been held to celebrate mothers.

The event brought together elderly, disabled, and homebound women—many of whom have limited contact with family or friends—to receive complimentary services from volunteers. According to coordinators, the women enjoyed full makeovers featuring new hairstyles, manicures, and massages. “fblikebutton_button” “>The City –Wide Tenant Association (CTA) of the Chelsea Collaborative hosted the second annual Mother’s Day Celebration this past Friday, May 8, for the tenants in the Margolis and Mace Public Housing Developments.
