Help make the holidays special for adults in our residential programs who are at risk of being forgotten, including veterans, older adults and individuals living with HIV/AIDS.

Host an office gift drive to collect cozy throws , warm slippers, puzzle books and other small presents. Your gifts will help show these men and women that they are not alone this winter. To make shopping easy, we've created an online wishlist for you to share.
Help the seniors at our East 12th Street Residence stay warm and comfortable this winter by donating new pajamas. It's an easy way to show that you care. Learn how your team can help.

Our annual gala, A New York Winter’s Eve , will be held at The Plaza on December 9. It is our largest and most important fundraising event of the year.

Even if you can't attend, help support our vital work by bidding on items in the silent auction . The catalog goes live in early December. Featured items include high-end luggage sets, an embellished Etro handbag, luxurious spa experiences, dinner and a wine cellar tour at the famous 21 Club, a group ski package at Stratton Mountain and more.

We are still accepting contributions to our live and silent auctions. Contact us if you can help.
Thank You, T.J. Maxx!
In celebration of the reopening of their 57th Street store in New York City, T.J. Maxx generously donated $10,000 toward personal care products for families at our shelters. These essential items help to preserve the dignity of individuals who have very little to call their own.

Learn how you can create your own fundraising team and raise money to fulfill a pressing need at one of our programs.

Rick, a Marine Corps veteran and three-time Purple Heart recipient, has struggled with post-traumatic stress since leaving the service in 1972. Through support from his peers and staff at our Manhattan veterans residence, including his case manager who was a combat veteran, he's starting to feel the weight lift off of his shoulders.
