Altagracia Woolford and Haramrijot Singh attended Head Start together in Marble Hill, and reconnected once Altagracia Woolford launched her campaign for State Assembly in District 81.

The two said they partnered to give back to the communities that raised them in an effort to help provide relief to families struggling with the high cost of food and school supplies before the school year begins.
