About The Association to Benefit Children
More than 14,000 children sleep in New York City shelters each night,
and more than 600,000 go hungry every day. The Association to Benefit
Children advocates for New York City children living in poverty and
provides services such as day care, early-childhood education, and
housing assistance.
"Poverty brings about all kinds of challenges, whether it's
homelessness, abuse, neglect, or developmental delays," says board
member Karenna Gore Schiff. "When you go to ABC, you can see how an
oasis like that can make all the difference—particularly with services
that involve the whole family, like counseling for parents,
mental-health treatment, and job placement."
