Camp at New City In 1892 a kindergarten was started for pre-school children. Further realization of the needs of the little ones was shown by the establishment of a Summer camp. A farm at Demarest, N. rented and then later purchased by managers and friends. Here many happy Summers were spent.

However, in 1928 the property was sold and a better camp founded at New City, N. a Name Changed in 1921 Half A century passed since long and cumbersome name of the Society for the Aid of Friendless Women and Children was adopted and a change was considered advisable. In 1921 the present name, Hopewell Society of Brooklyn, was chosen, with the desire to express the same of helpfulness shown in the title.

Through the generosity of the late Mrs. Sarah G. Robinson, Hopewell was able to extend its good work which included furnishing the Annex, where hundreds of women and children were taken care of.

Again as pioneers the managers realized that adolescent girls needed a freer and broader program.

The late Edwin Gould generously gave a house on Monroe Street which was fitted up so that 14 girls are able to live there, doing cooperative housekeeping and homemaking under the guidance of their house-mother. They are able to entertain their girl and boy friends there and have a normal home environment.
