Support Hour Children and help change the lives of women and children impacted by incarceration.

Who We Are: Hour Story

Hour Children is a leading provider of services to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women in New York State. Focused on women and their children, we support families during a mother’s incarceration and help families get back on their feet upon release.

Women who receive support from Hour Children’s programs are 5 times less likely to return to prison.
We support women through:

Prison-Based Family Services

Hour Thrift Shops

Providing a valuable resource for the community, these busy shops provide employment and training for Hour Children program participants and revenue to support our programs.

There are more than 4,000 women incarcerated in New York State prisons and local jails.
The vast majority will come home.

This means that every year, more than 1,000 women returning to New York City need with assistance housing, employment and education opportunities.

With most reentry programs focused on men, Hour Children provides valuable
services to women and their children, helping them to reunite and establish stable lives and a future filled with hope.
