Entry Detail

APRIL 2017 UPDATE
Little Essentials is a non-profit that collects gently used baby/children's clothing (0-4 years) and baby gear for NYC families living in poverty. Little Essentials partners with homeless shelters, city agencies, hospitals & community organizations to cut through government red tape and provide our community partners these essential baby items so they can distribute them directly to families in need across NYC. Little Essentials is often the difference between a mother interviewing only for jobs that her two-year-old child can walk or be carried to, and being able to travel city-wide because she has a stroller. So far Little Essentials has helped over 25,000 NYC children!
