New York, NY, December 27, 2011 - Ambrose continued its charitable giving in 2011 and reaffirmed its commitment to charitable giving overall.
"We are intent on giving back to our community, especially with so many struggling during these hard economic times," said Ambrose CO-CEO Greg Slamowitz.

Ambrose's selected charities include the All Souls Soup Kitchen, Heart & Soul Charitable Fund, Streetwise Partners, and the Life Adjustment Center, Inc.
"The All Souls Soup Kitchen will serve close to 19,000 meals this year and Ambrose's donation will go a long way towards helping us – contributing over 1,000 meals. Ambrose is one of our most loyal and generous donors. An organization like ours couldn't ask for more," said Ashley Garrett, Executive Director of the All Souls Friday Soup Kitchen.
"We are thrilled and proud to count on Ambrose as a key supporter of the Heart & Soul Charitable Fund. Ambrose has a strong reputation of consistent service and reliability in the area of human resources so it's not surprising to once again have their support during such a critical time. This contribution keeps us on the forefront of charitable giving, identifying groups working with the underprivileged and disadvantaged and giving them the assistance they need. Thank you for your loyal support," said Warren Yeh, Board member and Grants Committee Chair for the Heart & Soul Charitable Fund.
"We could not be more grateful to Ambrose for its generosity to StreetWise Partners throughout the years. Our partnership with Ambrose makes it possible for us to provide much-needed services to those in need while maintaining a high level of administrative efficiency. Ambrose’s expertise as well as substantial in-kind and financial support empower StreetWise Partners to run high-impact programs that change the lives of low-income motivated individuals. Ambrose's generous donation at this year-end will support our efforts to achieve even greater economic outcomes for our trainees," said Tracey Allard, Executive Director of StreetWise Partners, Inc.
"On behalf of Life Adjustment Center, I would like to express our organization’s gratitude to Ambrose for their charitable contribution. During these difficult times of state and federal program cutbacks, it is nice to know there are caring organizations, such as Ambrose to help us bridge the gaps caused by program cutbacks and continue to provide the excellent services our developmentally disabled consumers have come to expect from us," said Yuri C. Feynberg, Founder and CEO of the Life Adjustment Center, Inc.
About The All Souls Soup Kitchen
For the past 33 years, 52 Fridays a year, the All Souls Soup Kitchen has offered a nourishing meal to an ever growing number of hungry people who live in the community. In 2009, it provided lunch to over 13,000 people and served more than 18,000 meals. So far this year, the kitchen is on track, sadly, to surpass this record. Every week, between 40 and 50 volunteers work to provide neighbors with a great dining experience. Additionally, students from more than 25 schools and 4 summer camps have volunteered at the Soup Kitchen. Volunteers prepare the entire meal, set tables, create centerpieces, wait on guests, provide musical entertainment, and clean up. The organization feeds the hungry and provides a place that adds human dignity and the warmth of community.
