To the awesome families we serve,
It is going to be 92 degrees tomorrow. If you do not have well-functioning air conditioning, we encourage you to pack up the children and spend the morning hanging out with us. We have comfortable sofas, movies, air conditioning, snacks, games, and a ball pit. Our team will be on-site from 8 am until noon. After that, we will be heading into the community to check on several families we serve. Your families are an extension of ours, and you are always welcome at the organization.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow at 249 Green Street in Schenectady.

Leaving an abusive situation is often sudden and unexpected. Most of the children we serve come to us with little more than the clothes on their backs. Losing their home, belongings, and sense of stability can be just as traumatic as the abuse itself.

I will donate, and I’d also like to take a tag and purchase items. Would you be able to send me the info of one? Thank you.
