​Christine was awarded the Joe Winters Humanitarian Award at last night's Rotary Club of Smithtown Sunrise Snow Ball Gala. There is truly no one more deserving than Christine. We are certain Joe was smiling down on her last night gleaming with pride.

​Christine is an incredibly compassionate, fierce, and supportive advocate for adults with autism and their families, and a role model for leadership to the entire team at the Center.

We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support and generosity from our friends, families, local businesses, and partners. We are a better organization because of all your support.

The Rotary Club of Smithtown Sunrise - what a night! Special thank you to the folks at Smithtown Rotary for honoring the memory of Joe Winters.

We invite you to visit our website to view more photos from this very special event.

​Today marks #InternationalWomensDay – a global day for celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.
Picture
We would like to recognize these two exceptional ladies, Nicole and Maeve who have went through their WCFA Work Experience Training at Winters Bros. Waste Systems.

These women have broken barriers as the first females to come from the Winters Center for Autism to be employed with Winters Bros. They add so much talent and positivity to the workplace and we are lucky to have them.

To honor them, they were gifted customer Winters Bros. jackets after putting in such hard work throughout the year.
