New York, NY – November 13, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — New York Cares is seeking thousands of generous New Yorkers to sign up to grant 42,000 Winter Wishes, a program that helps to provide holiday gifts to underprivileged children, teens, and seniors who otherwise might go without. The deadline for volunteers to sign up is Wednesday, November 25, 2015. In order to grant all Winter Wishes, New York Cares is encouraging organizations and groups of friends to claim multiple requests so that all of our neighbors seeking holiday joy receive it.
Each year, New York Cares partners with hundreds of homeless shelters, community centers, and other deserving nonprofit organizations to provide holiday gifts for struggling New Yorkers, many of whom would not otherwise receive gifts during the holidays. To accomplish this, New York Cares collects and screens more than 40,000 gift requests and sends them to volunteers who purchase, wrap, and send the gifts to its partners. The gifts typically cost $40.00 or less and are tax deductible.
