Holiday Toy Drive
This holiday season, more than 25,000 children will wake up in NYC homeless shelters. While losing one’s home is difficult for anyone, it is devastating for a child – who must cope with the loss of friends, familiar surroundings and prized possessions. By donating a brand new gift for a homeless girl or boy, you can help make the holidays just a little bit brighter for those who need it most!
Holiday Food Drive
All over the city, New Yorkers help feed their neighbors by organizing food drives with their schools, apartment buildings, businesses, and places of worship. Help TR Charitable Foundation feed New York City’s men, women and children by keeping food pantries and soup kitchens stocked year-round! For more information on running a food drive, please see below, email [email protected], or call (347) 617-3110.
