Little Essentials offers at-risk families living in poverty urgently needed children’s supplies and parenting education to promote the health, well-being, and safety of their children under five years of age.
We partner with over 60 shelters, social service agencies and other community organizations to provide urgently needed children’s supplies to at-risk families in New York City.
Our educational workshops deepen our ability to help struggling NYC families. We provide them tools and resources to build life skills to achieve self-sufficiency.
Our workshops are taught by educational leaders who are experts in their field. They volunteer their time to educate our families on topics such as GED training, maternal health, child development, breastfeeding, infant CPR, financial literacy, recognizing disabilities in children, early literacy and more.
Our workshops are open to all NYC families regardless of their affiliation with Little Essentials and they are 100% free of charge.
