A Message From The President & CEO
Dear Friends of LESC:
Thank you for supporting our LESC 50th Anniversary Gala on May 11th at the Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers hosted by Melissa Russo, WNBC Anchor and Government Affairs Reporter. Our big event was an amazing success and attracted 450 people in a venue suited better for 400 people. We were thrilled to have such a large and excited crowd.

During the past half-century, we have always believed that every member of the community deserves a “chance” to realize the dream of living healthy, happy and productive lives with their families and loved ones. LESC is proud to be a premiere nonprofit community based chemical dependency and mental illness treatment provider serving and enhancing the entire New York City community. We could not have done so for the past 50 years without the help of generous supporters like you.
LESC has grown in both the number of social services we offer and the
number of New Yorkers we serve … all to help recovery become a reality
for the vulnerable New Yorkers we serve. Thank you again for your kind
interest and support.
