NCS Partners Help Keep Neighbors Warm

As temperatures dropped this winter, NCS’s community partners went above and beyond to help ensure our clients had the essentials they needed to stay warm, healthy, and supported. From welcome kits that help new residents settle into their homes to coats, blankets, and hygiene supplies, these in-kind donations brought comfort and care to neighbors across our programs.

Temple Emanu-El is Repairing the World

In the early 1980s, when congregations on the Upper East Side came together to form a community response to the growing homelessness epidemic (eventually coalescing into NCS), one of the first actions the group took was to run neighborhood meal programs, with each congregation choosing a different day to feed their neighbors in need. Forty years later, Temple Emanu-El still hosts lunch every Sunday.
