Sheltering Arms Children and Family Services, a longstanding agency in New York City, has been dedicated to supporting vulnerable children, youth, and families for over 200 years. Due to severe financial challenges exacerbated by the pandemic, the agency announced it would cease operations and transfer the majority of its programs and employees to other agencies by July 1, 2023. In March 2024, Sheltering Arms filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, with its case assigned to Judge Jil Mazer Marino. Despite these challenges, the agency remains grateful to its Board of Directors, staff, and donors for their unwavering support throughout its history. Generated from the website
