Last week, we met with our friends at Facebook to talk about making impact together in NYC, especially around helping kids from low-income neighborhoods get a quality education and a shot at reaching their full potential. 

Thank you, Facebook, for hanging out with us--we had a blast exchanging ideas with you! We also loved leaving our stamp on your office.  

Today, Bloomingdale's built reading packs for students in our ReadNYC program--kids living in some of NYC’s most-challenged communities who are working hard to grow into mighty young readers.  

Last year alone, volunteers helped us give these students more than 26,400 books!  

A HUGE thanks to Bloomingdale’s and all our partners who are fighting for literacy with us!  

Thank you to our nearly 3,000 volunteers who gave more than 8,000 hours back to New York City last year!  

You helped us give over 6,600 packs brimming with books to eager young readers. You served more than 14,000 meals to hungry New Yorkers. You made 8,800 kits filled with basics like toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, lotion, deodorant, and soap for our homeless neighbors. You made a serious impact on our City. Don’t stop--let’s keep up this incredible work together!

Thank you CIBC for kicking off your United Way of New York City workplace campaign with a bang of impact!  

Yesterday, CIBC volunteers teamed up with our partner New York Common Pantry to pack and distribute groceries to our neighbors in need.  

What a weekend! We had an incredible time partnering with 48in48 and nearly 200 volunteer digital professionals to bring 48 NYC nonprofits new websites in just 48 hours.   

Hats off to all who powered through the nights to empower those who fight for our neighbors in need.
