The Last O.G. is all about second chances and giving back to those who fall on hard times.
To celebrate kicking off the third season, The Last OG partnered with Upworthy to Give Back Like an O.G. through a share-to-donate campaign to Children of Promise, NYC, a local, Brooklyn-based nonprofit that supports kids of incarcerated parents. They provide services ranging from after-school programs, hot meals, and summer camps to ongoing mental health services specifically designed to meet the needs, interests and concerns of children left behind by a parent serving time in prison.
And during these times, while millions of people across the globe are facing tremendous hardships, the community CPNYC serves everyday is among the most vulnerable. This pandemic is new, but the underlying needs are not. The COVID-19 crisis brings to the surface many of the issues that these children and families have experienced for far too long. CPNYC staff talks to participants and caregivers everyday to provide the most basic necessities to these families.
