In Your Community

ACS can connect you and your family to community-based programs that promote well-being for you, your children, and your community.

Community Partnerships are neighborhood coalitions whose members include service providers, community leaders, and residents to share local resources and information, address community needs, design and promote strategies to  support families and communities to thrive. The partnerships host open, monthly meetings in all five boroughs. Community Partnerships can help you and your family navigate to resources and services, including concrete needs like food and clothing.  More information about Community Partnerships.
