  • New York Cares Annual Report 2006 New York Cares Meets Pressing Community Needs by Mobilizing Caring New Yorkers in Volunteer Service
    New York Cares Annual Report 2006 New York Cares meets pressing community needs by mobilizing caring New Yorkers in volunteer service. A Message from The President of the Board and the Executive Director The year 2006 was marked by extraordinary successes at New York Cares. We mobilized the greatest number of volunteers ever—33,000 individuals, who, by participating in our projects, were able to help a third of a million New Yorkers in need. We collected and distributed more than 89,000 warm winter coats, another record. And our overall programming grew by more than 25%, a remarkable achievement. We are proud to share our accomplishments in the coming pages, as well as some stories about the difference our volunteers have made. More than 1.5 million New Yorkers live in poverty; families with adults often working 2 or 3 jobs, who cannot make ends meet. Fortunately, when volunteers are effectively mobilized to address pressing needs in our community, transformative change can and does happen. Gail B. Harris Board President At New York Cares, our volunteer programs tackle poverty in two ways. We address people’s immediate needs through meal service projects, our annual Coat Drive, and other programs that provide comfort and support to families and individuals at challenging times in their lives. We also offer longer-term education and skill-building initiatives that help adults break the cycle of poverty by assisting unemployed or underemployed adults in getting jobs that pay the bills, and by teaching people how to manage a limited income and plan for the future.
