Our Kits

Poverty isn’t uncommon in NYC. In 2019, 56% of children in NYC lived in low-income families. The pandemic has made this much worse. In New York State, approx. 325,000 more children are living in or near poverty (a 92% increase), and more than 1 million children have had at least one parent lose a job due to the pandemic. Children in or near poverty will experience long-lasting reduced future earning themselves, continuing the cycle of poverty.
