Justice for Orphans Receives $5,000 Donation from National Bank of Coxsackie Supporting Vulnerable Children and Families in Albany and Greene Counties

 

Ravena, NY — [July 2025] — Justice for Orphans (JFO) is thrilled to announce a generous $5,000 donation from National Bank of Coxsackie (NBC) in support of its mission to serve children and families in crisis. The contribution will be split equally between Albany and Greene Counties, with each county receiving $2,500 to support JFO’s efforts to prevent foster care placements and provide essential resources to vulnerable families.

“We are so grateful for the continued support from the National Bank of Coxsackie,” said Kathi Sewak, Executive Director of JFO. “Their investment helps us mobilize local churches and community members to meet real needs—everything from beds and clothing to utility assistance—keeping children safe and families together.”

In celebration of the donation, NBC hosted a photo opportunity with Justice for Orphans and local branch managers from both counties. The event highlighted NBC’s commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of local children and families.

“Our community banking philosophy is rooted in relationships and local impact,” said Alison Phoenix, Branch Manager of NBC’s Athens Office. “We’re proud to support organizations like Justice for Orphans that are actively strengthening our neighborhoods.”

“Justice for Orphans is doing the hard work of lifting up families when they need it most,” added Glenda Cukierski, Branch Manager of NBC’s Ravena Office. “We’re honored to stand beside them and be a part of such meaningful change in our community.”

Justice For Orphans, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, operates CarePortal across ten New York counties, equipping communities to respond to vetted requests from child welfare professionals. To learn more about Justice for Orphans or to get involved, visit justicefororphansny.org.
