Art League of Long Island’s Story

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Art League of Long Island for their generous support of SCO Family of Services’ 2026 Back-to-School Supply Drive. The Art League graciously displayed our collection box in their gallery, providing members, visitors, and members of the community with an opportunity to give back and help local children prepare for a successful new school year.

Thanks to their partnership and the generosity of those who donated, SCO was able to collect much-needed school supplies that will directly benefit the children and families we serve. Their commitment to community engagement and helping others make a meaningful difference in the lives of our youth. Thank you, Art League of Long Island, for helping our students start the school year with confidence and the tools they need to succeed!

Janeese Goldman’s Story

Janeese Goldman founded Karla’s Kompanions in honor of her late mother, as a way to give back to the community. Karla’s Kompanions is a valued partner of SCO, supporting several initiatives that directly benefit the individuals and families we serve.

Most recently, Karla’s Kompanions donated supplies to last year’s Back-to-School Drive, helping ensure students had the materials they needed to start the school year prepared and confident. They also adopted our Morris Koppelman Early Childhood Education Center by sponsoring their Holiday Wishlist, generously providing holiday gifts for the children and families in the program.

“We discovered SCO while looking for ways to give back to the community and were connected to one of the SCO staff members. After learning about the many ways SCO supports such a wide range of individuals in diverse situations, we felt a strong connection to its mission—one that closely aligned with the causes that were so important to my mother during her life. Being able to support our local community in any way we can, and to help bring joy, motivation, love, a sense of worth, and support toward success in life, means so much to us.” – Janeese Goldman, Karla’s Kompanions
