I have an awesome announcement… 2014 was our BIGGEST YEAR EVER for our annual Holiday Gift Donation Drive for The Partnership for the Homeless!!! We collected even more than during our epic 2012 Donation Drive for Hurricane Sandy relief! Wow.

Together we collected:

  • $1250 in Paypal and other cash donations. (Half of this money was used to purchase H&M and Old Navy gift cards to give to teens at the Children’s Holiday Party, as requested by The Partnership. The other half was given directly to The Partnership to offset the party costs and to generally support their programs.)
  • $485 in varius other gift cards to places like Target and Barnes & Noble.
  • Many hats, gloves, scarves, books, and toys.
  • 115 Swap-bot members participated in the Donation Drive and our grand total was more than $1735!

I am so impressed with this community’s generosity year after year! Thank you all so much for your support and participation!

Our lovely Partnership contact, Wanda, came and picked up our box of donations today. Our gifts will make a huge impact at the Children’s Holiday Party this Saturday, December 6th. The holiday season will be a little brighter for many of NYC’s homeless youth thanks to you!

Happy, happy holidays! xoxo
