New York Pass Charitable Partners
New York Pass was proud to donate $14,632 to City Harvest, the world’s first food rescue organization, dedicated to feeding the city's hungry men, women, and children. The donation, collected from a portion of online sales throughout the month of November, will help City Harvest feed over 50,000 hungry New Yorkers this holiday season.
With the holiday season drawing so many visitors to our website and to purchase passes, we realized that we could not only make a significant donation to City Harvest, but that we could also help to educate and inspire others to share their blessings,” said Ken Barrows, Vice President, New York Pass.
The need for food is definitely higher compared to that of recent years,” says Jilly Stephens, executive director of City Harvest. “Agencies that receive food from us have reported an average increase of 25% in demand across all five boroughs in the city. So a donation like this is very much appreciated, and will help us feed many hungry families through the holiday season.
New York Pass is looking forward to the month of December and its partnership with New York Cares, a quintessential New York volunteer organization. With your help, we can help New York Cares continue its efforts to enrich the lives of New Yorkers through it numerous volunteer programs.
To continue in the spirit of giving, New York Pass has partnered with New York Cares, New York City’s largest volunteer organization and will donate one dollar for every new pass sold online, in the month of December, to New York Cares.
The New York Pass is a popular way for thousands of metro area residents and tourists to enjoy New York City’s top attractions. “With the holiday season drawing so many visitors to our website and to purchase passes, we realized that we could not only make a significant donation to New York Cares, but that we could also help to educate and inspire others to share their blessings,” said Ken Barrows, Vice President of Leisure Pass North America.
New York Cares’ 54,000 volunteers are hard at work 365 days a year, teaching children the joy of reading, helping low-income students get into college, delivering job training to unemployed men and women, providing companionship to elderly nursing home residents, providing holiday gifts to families in need, serving meals to homeless and housebound people, donating coats, and more.
