Mission of People in Need
Our mission is to assist low-income families that speak a variety of languages to
reach their full potential as residents of New York City. We aim to
empower the community, especially women, to advocate for their rights
and understand their responsibilities as Americans and to help immigrant
children with homework and personality development through various
after school programs. Lastly, and especially during the COVID-19
pandemic, we have been helping the community get through emergencies.
