New York Cares Annual Report 2006 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.

For children, the surest predictor that they will become poor adults is growing up in poverty. Our volunteers broaden the horizons of thousands of low-income children every year, helping them achieve educational success, exposing them to positive role models and setting them on a path to self-sufficiency.

Every day, we see the extraordinary impact of our volunteers working together to improve Ariel Zwang the lives of others. We believe now, more than ever, in our potential to change lives and Executive Director build brighter futures for all New Yorkers. On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, and most importantly, the 335,000 New Yorkers we helped this year, we thank you for your support, and for showing that you too, are a New Yorker who cares.

Sincerely,

By Program Area Creating Year-Round Volunteer Opportunities – Day in and day out, hundreds of New York Cares volunteers are hard at work throughout the city, helping New Yorkers in need. In a typical month, New York Cares plans and manages up to 750 volunteer projects that address a wide variety of community needs.

Most of these students do not know anyone who’s taken the SAT, let alone New Yorkers Who Care people who went to college. Yet as the weeks pass and test scores begin to increase, a glimmer of possibility emerges. Working one-on-one or in small groups with tutors every week, students In Action enhance their test-taking skills, vocabulary, geometry, and most importantly, their confidence. When students start to believe a college education can be theirs, volunteers work with them on Rafael’s Story college and financial aid applications, and share their personal experiences of college life to help make the prospect, and the process, a little less daunting.

By doing so, we can ensure that most children hed th touc will receive at least one gift they really want. After 18 years, we are still staggered by how basic many of the requests are, like: an art set, clothes for school, or, as some write, “Nothing for me, just d. in nee something for my little brother…” Still young enough to wish for a gift, disadvantaged teens are often orkers New Y lost in the holiday rush. Our Teen Program is so successful because it helps meet the needs of a group that is frequently overlooked. For the adults, frivolous wishes are rare. Typical requests are for household necessities, bedding or kitchen equipment, and occasionally small luxuries, like a DVD New Yorkers Who Care player—things many of us take for granted.
