Community Services

The City of Troy is committed to supporting individuals in need through compassionate, effective solutions. This Community Services page is dedicated to encouraging residents and visitors to channel their generosity in ways that truly make a difference - by supporting the organizations that are equipped to help. Rather than giving directly to panhandlers, we urge you to consider contributing to one of the 30+ non-profit organizations listed here, all of which work tirelessly throughout Troy and the Capital Region to provide essential services such as food, shelter, mental health support, job training, and more. Your support helps create long-term, sustainable change in the lives of those who need it most.
