Get Involved!

When people ask me how they can help, I always ask them "how do you want to help?" Would you like to join a committee, plan a special event, make a donation to the agency or possibly commit to something more long-term, such as an endowment or legacy? Would you like to name a program or a building? There are numerous ways in which someone can help through donations of time, talents and, of course, treasures. All of these gifts will ultimately enhance the well being of a child that walks through our doors.

A certified 501(C) 3, not for profit agency, South Shore Child Guidance Center provides services and programs to an underserved population. Many services are funded by Nassau County and NY State with additional funding being made by private donations, major gifts and fundraising. Currently seeing over 500 children and families a year, totaling over 10,000 visits, there is sadly a waiting list due to the limitations of funding. How do you tell a child to wait? Unthinkable!

Like our Board President, Len Kaufman, says "Every Day is A Great Day to Help a Child" - well I hope today is your Day and so do the children.

Join us as we begin work on next year's '2008 Heroes From The Heart Gala!'

Each year we honor those very special people who give from their hearts to the hearts of the children and family's of the South Shore Child Guidance community.

Volunteer and join us as we begin to join together for the greater good. You know you'll have a wonderful time networking, making new friends and most of all, helping us continue to support the community with the programs and services that they deserve and need.

Please call Marsha Sesskin at 516-868-3030 for more information.

Where the money goes

Opportunities For Charitable Giving

• Endowment Funds

  - Your gift enables us to ensure that programs and services will be available to enhance the quality of life for our children and our community.

• Planned Giving

  - Giving through bequests and estate planning is a wonderful opportunity to leave a legacy, a gift that enables you to continue these important services and programs. This gift allows us to provide care and programming well into the future. In some cases, you may obtain an immediate charitable tax deduction or reduce your estate tax.

• Tribute Cards

  - Honor an important event in a loved one's life or memorialize a loved one's passing by making a donation to the South Shore Child Guidance Center. We will send a lovely tribute card acknowledging this meaningful donation.
