The charity that i would like to donate to is called “New York Cares.” This charity was founded by a group of friends who wanted to take action against serious social issues that faced our city in the late 1980s. Finding few options to help, they created their own organization to address the problems from the ground up. New York Cares is the city’s largest volunteer organization, running volunteer programs for 1,200 nonprofits, city agencies and public schools. The reason i chose this charity is because it does not just focus on one specific issue, it tries to recruit people to make a difference on a number of social problems that we are facing here in New York.
For example, the latest event that New York Cares had was a Coat Drive. This was a very successful event as they collected a lot of coats in many locations all over Manhattan. Since winter is approaching, these coats will be given to those who cannot afford them. The recipients of these coats were very happy and proud of this organization since it showed them that there are people out there who still care and can make a difference to go that extra mile to support the unfortunate.
New York Cares has a lot more events that help so many New Yorkers. This is why i am so fond of this organization and would like to choose it as the charity that i would donate it.
