Through the Civil War, the Great Depression, two World Wars and now a pandemic, the Seamen’s Society for Children and Families has served Staten Island’s neediest with passion and compassion – and without interruption – for 175 years.
Founded on April 2, 1846, the non-profit organization strengthens and preserves families through foster care and adoption services, family support services, domestic violence counseling, behavioral healthcare, a youth enrichment program, tutoring support and a scholarship program.
To kick off its yearlong 175th anniversary celebration, the St. George-based agency has announced the creation of the Robert and Barbara Fitzsimmons Children and Family Fund at Seamen’s Society, established by their children, Laura L. Volsario and Robert J. Fitzsimmons Jr.
