Community Services

Our Community Services program offers support in times of crisis with services that address basic needs. The program combines a food pantry with the resources of a Benefits Access Program and Advocacy Clinic to help families move toward stability.

Our Benefits Access (formerly Single Stop) Program, our Health Insurance Enrollment Program, and our ActionNYC Immigration Legal Services Program are operating using a hybrid model with in-person, video conferencing, and phone contacts.
