Today, 50% of working-age NYC households have incomes that can’t meet basic needs.
That’s why we’re focused on feeding New Yorkers in need. We’re also helping people in financial distress get back on their feet and reclaim their dignity — breaking the cycle of poverty.
Because a web of issues keeps people in poverty, we tackle them all. Our support provides emergency cash assistance, eviction prevention, access to kosher food pantries, counseling, and legal advocacy.
We’re also on the cutting edge of service delivery. We’ve created food pantries that use digital technology so clients can choose the groceries they want, taking into account their health needs and cultural preferences. We’ve opened the Jack and Shirley Silver Hub in Queens with a holistic approach to moving people from crisis to stability. Now thousands of New Yorkers can access an array of life-changing human services, all under one roof. And a new Brooklyn Hub is coming soon.
Whether in New York, in Israel, or around the world, we’re giving people in poverty essential support and whenever possible — a path to self-sufficiency.
