General Colin L. Powell Honored by Episcopal Social Services at Dinner Marking ESS' 175th Anniversary

Marking 175 years of service to the most vulnerable New Yorkers, Episcopal Social Services (ESS) honored General Colin L. Powell on September 12, 2006, at a special dinner to mark this occasion. More than 300 business and religious leaders, philanthropists and other supporters came together at The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine to pay tribute to ESS which, since 1831, has provided critically-needed foster care, medical care, group homes for adolescents, family preservation services, Early Head Start, after-school programs, and re-entry services for the formerly incarcerated in New York City.
