Our Adoption and Kinship Youth group had their final outing for 2025 last week and soaked up the last of NYC holiday magic. They visited the Rockefeller Tree, explored the Bryant Park Holiday Market, and put their heads together for an Escape Room!

Happy New Year! 🎆 Wishing everyone a healthy, peaceful, and joyful start to your new year. We're feeling energized and excited to see what 2026 has in store for our NAC community, and we're so happy to have you with us!

Bows, & Bags, and Presents...oh my! Holiday cheer was at an all time high last week thanks to our incredible volunteers from Citi Bank & BBR. These wonderful partners stopped by the NAC offices to wrap presents for our families spreading a little bit of joy this holiday season.

💙☕🖌️ What a night! Our NAC staff got together with cups of hot cocoa and painted the night away. It was such a fun way to be in community with each other, release some creative energy, and feel festive for the holiday season.
