At Sheltering Arms, our goal is to foster a society where every child and family we serve will have the opportunity to succeed and thrive. We address the effects of social inequity in the most challenged communities in New York City. Each year we provide critical services to over 12,000 New Yorkers that impact children from birth to adulthood, including early childhood education, afterschool programs, community violence prevention, mental health, foster care and adoption, and family preservation.
Gifts are due to Sheltering Arms by Thursday, December 5, 2019
