For the past 15 years Cheryl Moran founder of STARTFRESH NY has run a program that provides food, clothing, and gifts to our city's neediest children. We host a variety of parties in shelters and after school programs and onsite at our location. Our purpose is to give these children a day where the labels of homeless, poor, welfare and/or recipient are erased from their lives. We aim to provide a day where they can just be kids and have fun. In 2009 we were able through the generosity and assistance of HELP USA to provide gifts to over 2500 individuals. SFNY hosted 4 Holiday parties and distributed gifts to over 15 different sites. In addition we distributed new winter coats to children that were in need. Our goal this year is to expand our holiday program to reach more families in need. We have added a Secret Santa program matching sponsors with families that are unable to provide holiday gifts for their children. The sponsor will be asked to adopt a family. The sponsor will receive a Secret Santa letter from the child (children) and will answer Santa's letter. The gifts will be given to the recipients at a holiday party. In some circumstances such as Domestic Violence families and survivors, the gifts will be sent from SFNY to the families to ensure their safety. SFNY understands the diversity of our families and celebrates whichever holiday our families recognize. If you are interested in being a Corporate Sponsor or sponsoring one child PLEASE contact us. Your support could make the difference in a child's life!! This program is unique because it allows the sponsors to be personally involved by shopping for the children and becoming Santa. In addition the children feel like Santa got their letter!!
Or you can go to our secure Donation Page and make a donation. All donations are tax deductible!
You can be the difference. Create a Holiday where there would be none.
