Being a caregiver is a full-time job. Those who support their elderly family members do so at a cost to their personal lives and health. Our In-Home Respite Services program provides in-home companions to relieve caregivers and give them some time-off.

Children in foster care face so many obstacles. They are at a much higher risk of arrest, teen pregnancy, drug addiction, and low self-esteem. But, with a mentor the chances of success are limitless.
2017 is finally here and we are so excited for the new year. January offers us a clean slate. It’s a time for resolutions and tackling the obstacles before us with aplomb. We’re ready to take on 2017!
Chipotle hosted a fundraiser for us on November 18th in which every person who ate at a Chipotle on Long Island and mentioned EAC Network saw 50% of their purchase donated back to us.

Last Monday, December 5th, was Volunteer Day – a time to come together and make a difference. This year volunteers got together at our Suffolk County Child Advocacy Center to create holiday cards for our kids. Our children’s programs serve at-risk youth that usually struggle this time of year. We wanted to give them some holiday cheer and hope these cards will let them know that they are loved.
