Donations to Selfhelp Community Services, Inc. enable us to provide quality care to elderly Holocaust survivors, the senior citizens who live in our housing or rely on our senior centers, and frail individuals with chronic illnesses and their families whose lives are improved by the care they receive in our home care programs.

Your support is crucial and we invite you to support our work though financial assistance and volunteer service. By working together, we can help thousands of New Yorkers live independently and strengthen the community that sustains us all.
