Mission

Family Champions is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit in Tupper Lake, NY that began serving families with special needs children. Family Champions now provides social service advocacy, referrals, training, a work site for community service, work study programs, a gift shop, and a well stocked Help Closet to anyone in need. The Help Closet accepts used furniture, appliances, house wares, boots, shoes, clothing to include work clothes and toys from the general public and then offers these items free of charge (though we do accept donations) to the needy and less fortunate throughout the North Country. We are “recycling” items from folks who no longer need them to people who really do.
