WELCOME to NYACK CENTER
|
Nyack Center was founded 28 years ago in 1990 by a group of concerned citizens and is housed in a renovated historic church in the heart of Nyack, N.Y. Nyack Center serves the Nyacks and the larger community of Rockland County by supporting children, youth and families through educational and recreational programs. This non-profit organization provides a welcoming gathering space for vital before-and-after school programs, cultural celebrations, and community events. Nyack Center more than a community building; a place for building community.

ANNUAL APPEAL
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN
Our parents love their children, most of our parents work some many jobs and yet over 98% are at or below the
federal income guidelines for poverty.
In New York State $24,300 or less is the threshold for Federal Income Guidelines for Poverty for a family of four. With an 150 % cost of living in Rockland County it can seem like even less. A parent working at the minimum wage of $9 an hour, makes $360 a week and $18,720 a year.
One of our moms worked at McDonalds making that minimum wage and was unable to afford child care. Her daughter, Ally would walk over with a neighbor who picked her up at her bus and dropped her off at McDonalds. Ally would sit at McDonalds until her mother left her shift. Sometimes there well beyond a dinner or even bed time-Ally was 8.
Thanks to a recommendation from a friend, Ally was enrolled at Nyack Center. She was safely delivered by bus to Nyack Center, greeted by loving staff, given a snack, completed her homework with help, played kickball in the auditorium, spent time with friends and able to relax and be a child. Her mom focused on her work and eventually became an Assistant Manager at McDonalds.
This is what Nyack Center is all about - making a difference for our friends and neighbors, so all our community children have what they need to succeed. We know that when one child succeeds we all succeed.
Once again, a generous donor is matching every dollar you donate with The Mark Jacobs Challenge Grant of $26,000.
Give generously, help us meet the challenge and make a difference in the life of children and families!
