5 Local Charities That Need Your Help

New York City is a fish bowl filled with many different types of fish and personal situations.  Often times I see people ignore everything around them and other times they go above and beyond for their fellow New Yorker.  I believe in Karma, positive energy, and whatever you put out into the universe you will get back.  Below are a few charities that could use your support.

1) Association To Benefit Children - They offer support and programs for less fortunate children and their families.   Some examples are early childhood education, education advocacy, housing assistance, family support, and crisis intervention.  Visit a-b-c.org for more info.

2) The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp - This particular organization is located in Connecticut and are dedicated to providing alternative heralding to gravely ill children, for free.  They want to ensure that every child have the opportunity to experience camp.  Visit www.holiinthewallgang.org.

4) Robin Hood Foundation - Focuses on finding, funding, and creating programs and schools that serve families in New York's most challenged neighborhoods.  They also work with the poor to give them the tools they need to improve their lives.  Visit www.robinhood.org

5) Girls Educational & Mentoring Services - Caters to girls that have been subject to commercial sexual exploitation and domestic trafficking.  The concept is to help them exit the industry and  develop skills that encourage them to reach their emotional and professional potential.
