This is Damon, Community Relations Manager at New York
Cares. Each year, New York Cares partners with hundreds of our Community
Partners, including homeless shelters and other deserving nonprofit
organizations, to provide holiday gifts for disadvantaged children, teens,
families and seniors, many of whom would not otherwise receive gifts during the
holidays. To accomplish this, we collect and screen more than 37,500 gift
requests and send them to volunteers who purchase, wrap and send the gifts to
our partners.
This year, Hurricane Sandy affected us and unfortunately, we
have just over 1,100 letters left in house and we need your
support! If you are interested and can answer the gift request of a
child, teen, senior or family, please let us know; we want everyone to receive a
gift this holiday season.
Registration – Please reply to winter.wishes@newyorkcares.org
as no later than Friday, December 14, with how many letters you would like to
receive. Gifts should be valued at no more than $40.
Options for receiving
letters:
- Pick up – New York Cares, 65 Broadway, 19th
Floor, New York, NY 10006
- USPS – We will mail your letters to you
- View digital versions of your letter online
You can request as many or as few letters as you like.
Have a Wonderful Holiday Season!
Damon
