About the St. Nicholas Project

The St. Nicholas Project is a year-round initiative to help the most vulnerable in New York City and neighboring communities by providing support to individuals and families through donations of essential items and connecting them to much needed services.

In addition to providing food, emergency cash assistance, and case management support throughout the year, we distribute winter coats, hats, gloves, scarves, sweaters, blankets, and more to those who otherwise would go without during the cold winter months.

This year, more people in need are turning to Catholic Charities. Join with us and let’s all help make the holiday season brighter for these families during Christmas!

Adopt-A-Family

Help us bring the joy of Christmas home by making sure there will be gifts under the tree for the whole family.

Each year, the Catholic Charities Adopt-A-Family Program serves hundreds of families.
