AMICO, the America-Italian of Organizations Inc, is a non-profit organization founded in 1978 by civic leaders concerned with the well-being of over two million Italian Americans in New York. Their mission is to promote public and private human services for the community, address the needs of Italian Americans and other cultural groups, and provide accurate information and resources. AMICO offers a range of services, including day trips to points of interest, health, safety, and nutrition programs, and extended services for older adults.
Under the leadership of Joan Pastore, DSW, and a dedicated board of directors, AMICO operates the AMICO 59th Street Older Adult Center, serving over 6,000 older individuals annually with socialization opportunities, nutritious meals, and various classes and activities. They also run the Eileen C. Dugan Older Adult Center in Carroll Gardens, providing a cozy environment for social gatherings, meals, trips, and volunteer opportunities. Additionally, AMICO's Extended Service Program offers housing assistance, benefit and entitlement screening, counseling, and case assistance to older adults in the community. All programs are funded by the NYC Department for the Aging.
