Two Decades of Love, Service & Community
MDLAYAFS Inc. was born from a simple belief: every child, family, and senior in New York City deserves dignity, opportunity, and a community that shows up for them.
Rooted in Community. Driven by Purpose.
Mommy & Daddy's Little Angels Youth and Family Services Inc. (MDLAYAFS Inc.) was founded with a heart for the overlooked and underserved communities of New York City. What started as a grassroots effort to support neighborhood youth has grown into a comprehensive social services organization serving individuals and families across the five boroughs.
For nearly two decades, we have walked alongside families in their hardest moments — providing not just resources, but relationships. We believe that real change happens when people feel seen, supported, and empowered to write their own story.
Mission
Mommy & Daddy's Little Angels Youth and Family Services Inc. (MDLAYAFS INC.) empowers underserved children, teenagers, young adults, families, older adults, people with disabilities, and individuals living with chronic or serious health conditions throughout New York City. Since 2007, we have provided educational enrichment, youth development, mentoring, mental wellness activities, emergency assistance, food and essential-needs support, holiday giving, and community-resource connections. Our work promotes dignity, stability, wellness, and equitable access to opportunities across Brooklyn, Far Rockaway, Staten Island, and surrounding communities.
