A little late posting of our amazing Day of Service during the Somos Puerto Rico 2024 conference this past November 8th. Our #teamcatholiccharities and our wonderful volunteers provided help and created hope to over 50 seniors at the Centro Esperanza para la Vejez in Carolina, PR. A few hours of conversation, singing, laughter, games, and a great meal really made a difference for these seniors who struggle with social isolation. Thank you to all who joined us… Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York

For 113 years, The New York Times Communities Fund has been a catalyst for readers to support the work of leading nonprofits making an impact in their communities. As Nick Kristof two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and The New York Times columnist, puts it: “Just as The New York Times reviews restaurants and movies, just as we recommend the best televisions on Wirecutter, we’ve also selected nonprofits to guide readers to some that are particularly effective. That’s the role of the New York Times Communities Fund…” Catholic Charities New York is honored to be the oldest beneficiary of The New York Times Communities Fund that supports nonprofits that help individuals and communities improve their circumstances. This year, our $1M campaign goal will address two urgent needs: ?? $750,000 to fight homelessness, helping families transition from shelters to affordable housing. ?? Additional funds will provide legal assistance for immigrants and refugees, empowering them to build better futures. For over a century, Catholic Charities New York and The New York Times Communities Fund have worked hand in hand to uplift those in need. Together, we will continue to partner to build a better New York for all. Visit https://lnkd.in/ec5SBFC7 and https://lnkd.in/e237_FCf to learn more and donate. #NYTCommunitiesFund
