This Valentine's Day, you can show the veterans who call a Volunteers of America-Greater New York residence "home" that you care, and warm their hands and their hearts. Donate new gloves, hats and scarves by February 7 and consider including handmade cards with heartfelt messages.

Watch this video to learn how to thank a veteran and contact Andrew Zibell at azibell@voa-gny.org to donate.
Creating cards, holding a drive and packaging this gift is a great community service activity for Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service.
Celebrate Black History Month by hosting a trivia night. Organize a field trip or other experience (like karaoke, which the girls pictured here are enjoying) for children in our family shelters during their midwinter break. Explore our February volunteer opportunities.
