PAST INITIATIVES
Since its inception in 2016, La Colmena has backed a number of programs aimed at fostering community engagement, promoting our cultures, and strengthening the borough as a whole.
In March 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic swept through New York, members of Mujeres Liderando were loosing their employment. However, the members decided to create a mask project to sell and donate face mask to the public. Sewing machines were donated to the women by MakerSpace. Together the women sewed over 200 mask, a portion was donated to police officers and bus driver.
