Excerpt from Jewish Communal Directory: A Classified Guide Book to the Congregations, Fraternal Orders, Lodges, Mutual Benefit Societies, Educational Organizations, Charitable and Philanthropic Institutions and Agencies in the Five Boroughs of Greater New York Organized for the purpose of keeping intact the homes of destitute but worthy widowed mothers and their children, and to prevent the cruel necessity of committing half orphaned children to public institutions. The Association maintains that the loss of the breadwinner is not sufficient cause for the breaking up of homes. Adequate and regular relief, and the knowledge that there are women who will pro teet her, enable the widowed mother to preserve the integrity of the family life, in which alone there is hope and inspiration. The records of the Association show that it has prevented the breaking up of over three hundred and fifty homes, and has kept a thousand children at home with their mothers.
