Sheltering Arms Children & Family Service, a renowned agency in New York City, has recently announced its closure due to severe financial challenges caused by the pandemic. With a rich history of serving the city's most vulnerable children, youth, and families for over 200 years, Sheltering Arms takes pride in the undeniable results of its programs. By July 1, 2023, the majority of programs and employees will be transferred to other agencies, ensuring the continuity of services and maintaining connections with the families they have been serving.
