The funds from We Care are raised by the legal profession and distributed through charitable grants. In the 25 years since its founding, Nassau County attorneys have raised more than $2.5 million for more than 100 local charitable causes.

Based in Wantagh, Momma’s House serves young mothers and their children by providing shelter, support, advocacy, instruction and love, as well as to address homelessness, complete education and career goals and to develop independent living skills. Located on 1857 Wantagh Ave., Momma's House serves as a home for young mothers ages 17 to 23 years and their babies.
