Message From Our Leaders

New Yorkers are In 2020, New York Cares rallied thousands of New Yorkers to roll up their sleeves and renowned for being address the unprecedented needs of communities whose health and viability were tough, but also kind fundamentally threatened—all while confronting painful truths about persistent and pervasive injustice and inequity in our society. and compassionate. Those qualities When our city was shutting down, of resilience and New York Cares was ramping up. kindness are never more evident than As unemployment and hunger approached record highs, we were assessing needs with community-based partners to pinpoint neighborhoods in crisis throughout the in times of crisis. South Bronx, Central Queens, and East Brooklyn. Working closely with the City of New York, we safely and effectively placed more than 61,000 volunteer positions to meet critical and, at times, life-and-death challenges including food insecurity, chil- dren’s inability to virtually connect with their teachers, seniors’ profound isolation, and thousands who lacked a warm winter coat to weather the cold winter months.

We rapidly evolved our programs to match the needs of the moment. We launched a phone banking system, reimagined our Coat Drive, and provided a range of services virtually, from citizenship instruction to story time for children and on-demand vol- unteer orientation. We created Stand with Students to reaffirm our commitment to NYC public schools. Our volunteers made more than 32,000 technology support calls to students learning remotely and distributed 20,000 backpacks with school supplies to families most affected by the pandemic. When the demand for food skyrocketed, we established new partnerships with more than 50 organizations, enabling our Gary Bagley volunteers to deliver 33,000,000 meals to New Yorkers facing food insecurity. Executive Director This work—and much more—is detailed in the following report, which memori- alizes a year unlike any before. We hope it provides a window into all that was accomplished, and all that must still be done. Undoubtedly, the impact of the pandemic on vulnerable communities will be felt for years to come. Fundamental disparities we knew existed have significantly deepened and will only intensify without a long-term commitment to action.

Paul J. Taubman We remain deeply grateful to our donors, volunteers, partners, and the broader community, who continue to inspire us with their generosity and President, Board of Directors commitment to making our city a better place for all New Yorkers.

As the potential end to this devastating pandemic comes into focus, we share the hope that better days are coming. In the meantime, our work continues, informed, and intensified by what we have experienced together—work that keeps us listen- ing, learning, and always placing communities at the center of our response. arrow-left-circle Volunteers prepping meals for seniors at Florence E.

Mark Seliger Raises Funds for COVID Relief

When COVID-19 struck NYC, Seliger dug into his archives to sell celebrity portraiture to support vital programs.

As difficult as 2020 was, there were also incredible gifts, such as the unwavering support of world-renowned photographer Mark Seliger. Just two weeks into the pandemic, Mark’s studio contacted New York Cares eagerly wanting to help. In collaboration with Red Carpet Advo- cacy (RAD), Mark led a highly successful charity auction that featured limited edition prints of some of his most iconic celebrity images includ- ing Oprah Winfrey and Keith Richards.

To understand and raise further awareness of New York Cares, Mark shot on-site at one of our emergency hunger relief projects and took incredible portraits of three of our most dedicated volunteers (one of these portraits is acting as the cover of this annual report).

We could not be more grateful for all that Mark and his entire team have done for New York Cares in such a short time, and we could not be more excited for what the future holds for this incredibly rich partnership. Cheryl K. Jones Brooklyn

It’s love. The food is packed with love. It’s delivered in love because we care.

We realize that 38 pounds of food for a week for a family of five is nothing. It’s a meal. But it’s something to contribute to what you already have and that’s the objective.

Kelvin came to New York Cares at the onset of COVID-19, eager to be part of our city’s response. Since then, they have been on the frontlines of our emergency food response, leading projects, building community, and recruiting other New Yorkers to service.

A lot of parents didn’t log in because of anxiety and fatigue. As a school community, we needed another support system and that was extremely important. New York Cares provided that extra support.
