Help Save We Care New York
Tax deductible
Our 100% volunteer-led charity does the most with donated funds to directly impact less fortunate residents in need of assistance. Unfortunately, over the last year we had more expenses than donations and this has put us in a very bad position. We will have to cancel our programs and activities and severely limit the support we provide residents in need. It’s very sad that it is so hard for a volunteer Charity 501c3 with NO PAID staff and No monthly rent for an office to raise funds. Donations cover the costs to help low income families who are in need and appreciate used clothing, jackets, furniture, bicycles, toys, books, food and more. But, that’s not all we do to help identify residents in need: we host activities, have a website, phone hotline and email open 24/7/365, and do our best to connect resident to funded programs and services they are qualified to receive.
We started We Care New York in March of 2013 as a way to help residents in need after Hurricane Sandy. Most of our volunteer leaders were victims of Hurricane Sandy themselves and do their best to help others in many different ways. Our focus is on the communities we have volunteer leaders to organize events and activities to identify needs and provide support. We are a small 100% volunteer charity that has grown into an effective group of caring people that help about 10,000 residents in need each year.
An overview of our 2016 results with a budget of approximately 30K:
