Charity Highlights for this month: New City Kids and WomenRising

As a family community JCFamilies are encouraging families to get involved and support the local charities. In all of our events we invite local charities to come and connect with our families.

There are a great variety of charitable organizations in Jersey City, and this month we are collecting for  New City Kids  and WomenRising. JCFamilies wants to involve families and children in Jersey City to give back to the community.

About New City Kids: New City Kids offers after school programming for local low-income youth. Children and teens get a chance to explore music and academics in a creative and fun environment. Though there are many challenges of urban life, especially for youth, these programs give children a safe place to feel and hear that they are valued and loved. New City Kids aims to draw children into hope by developing in them skills, talents, and desires for their future. By surrounding them with a community of love and development, New City Kids strive to set youth on a path of transformation that will carry them forward for the rest of their lives.
