Catholic Charities NY’s Indispensable Role

For over a century, Catholic Charities NY has stepped in where public services fall short, addressing gaps in housing, food security, and legal assistance for New York’s most vulnerable.

As the article notes:

The partnership of a newspaper and charitable organizations is symbiotic. The Times has the voice to reach millions; nonprofit charities have the expertise and dedication to help the homeless, the hungry, the neglected, the elderly, the exiled and the lonely. Catholic Charities is among the most venerable and effective of our partners in helping a person in need.

Monsignor Kevin Sullivan, Executive Director of Catholic Charities NY, reflected on the partnership: “For over a century, Catholic Charities NY and The New York Times have worked together to serve those most in need. This collaboration with The New York Times Communities Fund exemplifies the power of coming together to ensure that no one is forgotten or left behind. We are proud to be a part of this legacy of a caring New York and deeply grateful for the trust placed in us to carry out this vital mission.”
