The Girls Home
Building the foundation for less fortunate girls
In sports, it takes a special team to repeat as champions. Likewise, in life, it takes a special group of people to duplicate an act of generosity for a worthy cause. Thanks to your previous efforts, we were able to make the Jerome Wagner Boys Home a reality. Thank you for helping us achieve our goal and make Westchester a better place for a group of boys in need.
We now hope you can assist our efforts again, as we look to build the Evelyn Sachs Steiner Home for Girls. Go to SteinerSports.com to donate (you can put multiple quantities of a $1, $5, or $10 donation in your cart) or call 917-307-1030 to find out more information and where to send donations.
If you wish to offer tangible goods or professional services. Your support helped change the lives of a special group of boys. This is a unique opportunity to do the same for a very special group of girls, increasing the quality of life for several of Westchester’s young people.

Brandon's relationship with FSW's Girls Home
Family Services of Westchester's Youth Residences give a chance in life to teens who might otherwise not have a chance. Boys and girls come to us deeply troubled, having suffered hurtful neglect and abuse or serious conflict with their parents. Many have been abandoned and have never experienced what most of us take for granted: a stable and secure home. They are often ready to turn their backs on a world that has rejected them. They leave our care, almost always knowing that the world can be harsh, but there are people on whom they can depend. They learn ways to cope, to tap into their strengths, to rise above, and to find hope and joy in becoming creative, contributing members of society.
The Girls Residence on Davis Avenue houses 8 young women. This youth residence provides support for teens in crisis and gives the youth –ages 13 to 21 -- a safe and nurturing environment in which to live while they are completing their schooling. Here, with the support of house parents, tutoring and a full range of supportive services, these youth are able benefit from what other children have in their natural homes: a caring environment that enables them to learn and grow; a safe haven that provides guidelines for interaction with their peers, their teachers, their employers and community at large.
We are challenging other families and corporations in the Westchester community to join in our Dreambuilders Campaign to improve the quality of life for these young people. The Steiners have engaged a team of architects, builders and designers who will completely renovate the properties,. They completed the Boys Residence in 2008 and are currently renovating the Girls Residence. We are seeking generous donations of funds and in-kind goods and services to make this possible.
