Who We Are :

• CAMBA is a community of staff, volunteers, clients, donors, neighbors and partners who work together to build an inclusive New York City, where all children and adults have access to the resources and supports, they need to thrive.  We take a comprehensive approach by offering more than 180 integrated programs in : Education & Youth Development, Family Support, Job Training & Employment Support Services, Health, Housing, and Legal Services.
• We reach almost 80,000 individuals and families, including almost 13,000 youth. CAMBA serves a diverse cross section of New Yorkers from new mothers in Brownsville to job seekers in the Rockaways.
• More than half of our clients are immigrants and refugees from around the globe.
• Over 85% of our families are living in poverty, reflecting the challenges faced by nearly 1.7 million New Yorkers today.
• CAMBA’S Food Programs , made up of the Beyond Hunger Emergency Food Pantry and the NOEP Program , work to ensure that no one in Brooklyn goes hungry.  The Beyond Hunger Emergency Food Pantry, in Partnership with a number of different government and private entities including the NYS Hunger Prevention and Nutrition Assistance Program (HPNAP), United Way of NYC (UWNYC), Food Bank of New York, City Harvest, and NYC Human Resource Administration (HRA), distributes a 3 day supply of 3 meals per day of nutritional food to CAMBA clients-as well as those referred to us by churches and other agencies – due to hunger or lack of funds for adequate food purchase.
• Services also include food stamp screening, application assistance and referrals for application assistance.  Additionally, the program brings in a number of different providers to provide information and referrals for nutritional education and support, other benefits and services to help improve client’s health, maximize their household income and help them move toward greater self-sufficiency.  The NOEP Program provides outreach to individuals and families who may be eligible for Food Stamps.
