At Catholic Charities of New York, we are gearing up for our annual Thanksgiving Fund Drive!
As you begin preparations to celebrate this holiday of thankfulness and plenty with your loved ones, I ask you to remember the families and individuals in New York City who continue to find it difficult to make ends meet. Rising prices of food and housing are making it harder than ever for people to feed their families and pay monthly bills.
But you can do so much good for families just getting by this holiday season! By joining our Thanksgiving Fund Drive, you’ll help Catholic Charities of New York provide delicious turkey with all the fixings and other critical care to many who would otherwise go without this Thanksgiving.
Your donation of just $65 can provide a food basket of 10 meals for Thanksgiving! Please help a family in need now.
If you count yourself among the blessed this season, I ask you to join in the spirit of Thanksgiving and share with a neighbor in need.
As a thank-you gift for your compassion and generosity, when you donate, you’ll receive four seasonal recipes from New York celebrity chef — and friend of Catholic Charities of New York — Lidia Bastianich.
Chef Lidia knows what a difference our lifesaving assistance can make — she experienced it firsthand when she was a young girl.
“I came as a refugee to the United States when I was 11 years old,” Lidia says. “I spent two years in a refugee camp. So food was always of great importance and the lack of food was of great concern to us. Catholic Charities brought us to the United States. They found a home for us, settled us, and gave us the beginning of this great opportunity of coming to America.”
Now an accomplished chef, Lidia is pleased to share some of her delicious recipes with all of us.
Through your support of Catholic Charities of New York’s annual Thanksgiving Fund Drive, you are giving our struggling neighbors hope, in addition to much-needed food that they can enjoy this holiday! Please give now.
We count on your support to make services like this possible. You can provide help and create hope. Make a generous, tax-deductible gift today.
