We are thrilled to announce a new chapter in the inspiring legacy of Biz Markie, the legendary rapper, DJ, and philanthropist whose impact on the world extends far beyond the music industry. As a tribute to his generous spirit and commitment to uplifting communities in need, we proudly present "Biz Markie's Emergency Food Pantry" in collaboration with Harlem Dowling-West Side Center for Children & Family Services

Community Parenting Partnership Program (CPPP) works to reduce child abuse/maltreatment and neglect by providing individual and group level evidence-based interventions to children/youth, ages 0-17 and their parents/caregivers in the Central Harlem community of New York City.

During these challenging times we understand it is absolutely necessary to provide resources to continue to strive ahead. Families need access to resources that can make life better. Below is a list of national, state, and local resources that may help us all during these difficult times. We will continue to update this list daily.

Educational and recreational services are available to students attending NYC public schools in Central Harlem (P.S. 36, P.S./M.S. 161, and P.S. 153). During the summer, we provided day camp services from 8 am to 6 pm in PS 36 and PS 153.

Programming includes activities that are provided by various partners.
