NYS Children's Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides services and aid to children who have experienced abuse or neglect or are at risk of neglect due to economics or tragedy. Through our fundraising and events we are able to provide emergency aid to families and children in crisis. The crisis can be due to economics, loss of a job, death of a caregiver, fire, flood etc. We also provide services to children at-risk of a Child Protective Services intervention due to not having items necessary to meet their basic needs such as food, clothing, diapers and personal hygiene items.
When a child is removed from their home through Child Protective Service Intervention, these children sometimes leave with the clothing on their back. It is our goal to work with Child Protective Services and the Foster Care System to help this transition for the child(ren) and the caregiver taking this child(ren) into their home.
Through community support we also organize several campaigns throughout the year to assist underprivileged children in our community.
***Please view our event page for the amazing events coming up that will benefit the Crisis Center and our community!
Through referrals from schools, the Department of Social Services, Child Protective Services, and other local, city and state agencies we will give direct aid to those in our community who are in need. It is our hope to provide the basic necessities for these families and form a bridge between their immediate need and the more permanent services to help them sustain viability.
