New York Cares Annual Report 2007
Celebrating 20 Years
Changing Volunteering,
Changing Lives
New York Cares’
Mission
New York Cares meets
pressing community needs
by mobilizing caring New
Yorkers in volunteer service.
A Message from the President of the Board and the Executive Director
Dear Friends,
New York Cares celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2007. It’s been an extraordinary
journey. The group of friends who founded New York Cares had a simple but powerful
idea. They created a way for busy people to volunteer in meaningful but flexible ways.
They made it possible for teams of New Yorkers, regardless of age, race, gender, or
background, to come together to help those among us who need it most.
This new approach to volunteering was an immediate success, and continues to grow
and flourish today. In 2007, we achieved a number of important records. We mobilized
the highest ever number of volunteers — almost 36,000 individuals, who, by participating in our projects, helped almost 400,000 New Yorkers in need. We collected and
distributed 94,000 warm winter coats. We brightened the holidays of 30,000 families
through our Winter Wishes program. And our overall programming grew by 20%, a
remarkable achievement. Through this work and more, New York Cares quadruples the
value of every dollar donated in total services we give back to the community. Our
unwavering commitment to effective management and program delivery maximizes the
impact of our work.
Gail B. Harris
Board President
As we look forward, we believe we have just scratched the surface of what we can do.
There are 1.5 million New Yorkers living in poverty. Our goal is to work towards a
future where we can serve everyone who needs our help. We believe now, more than
ever, in our potential to change lives and build brighter futures for all New Yorkers.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, and most importantly, the
400,000 New Yorkers we helped in 2007, we thank you for your support, and for
showing that you, too, are New Yorkers who care.
Ariel Zwang
Executive Director
Sincerely,
Gail B. Harris, Board President

20 Years of New York Cares
Changing Volunteering,
Changing Lives
In the late 80s, New York City faced serious
social issues. A group of friends wanted to help.
Our founders said, “There MUST be something
we can do.” They attempted to volunteer at
homeless shelters, hospitals, schools, and senior
centers. They encountered many obstacles, and
decided to create their own volunteer organization. That organization is New York Cares.
New York Cares sparked a national movement. In
1991, the Hands On Network (formerly City
Cares) adopted our founders’ new approach to
volunteering, expanding it to other cities. Today,
the Points of Light Foundation & the Hands On
Network is the recognized leader in volunteerism,
with 380 affiliates around the world.
Twenty years later, New York Cares has become
the way New Yorkers volunteer. In 2007, we
enabled nearly 36,000 people to volunteer at
more than 900 nonprofit agencies citywide,
providing support to almost 400,000 disadvantaged New Yorkers. Social service agencies rely
on New York Cares to meet critical needs they
cannot address on their own.
People volunteer with New York Cares year after
year because they want to make a difference,
and they know they make a real impact through
New York Cares. Today’s volunteers share our
founders’ vision that we all have a role to play in
making our city a better place.
Together, we are New Yorkers who care.

—Michael R. Bloomberg,
Mayor of New York
We wanted
to help
New York Cares’ founders are living proof
that a few people with a great idea can
change lives. Our founders knew they
were on to something much bigger than
themselves, and that by coming together,
volunteers could help make the city
stronger. Twenty years on, New York Cares
has truly become part of the fabric of New
York City.

How We Work
Our Programs
New York Cares changes lives, one project at a time.
Our volunteer programs help New Yorkers in two
primary ways.
How New York Cares Works
We meet immediate needs — Volunteers provide hot
meals to the hungry, warm coats to people who are
cold, companionship to lonely seniors, and more.
We help New Yorkers break the cycle of poverty and
build better lives — Volunteers help children improve
their reading, homeless families find a decent place to
live, unemployed adults find jobs, and much more.
Many of the people we help have been living in
poverty for generations.
Each year, New York Cares brings vital volunteer
support to more than 900 nonprofit agencies, public
schools, and other organizations. Our Program
Managers work with each organization to identify critical needs that the agencies cannot currently address.
Then, we create projects to address these needs,
recruiting and deploying teams of volunteers in
service. The vast majority of these projects would not
exist without New York Cares.

customized service projects to meet specific corporate
responsibility objectives or employees’ preferences, and we
invite companies large and small to participate in our
major events like New York Cares Day and Hands On
New York Day. In 2007, 530 companies worked with New
York Cares, engaging 6,200 employees in volunteering.

Lee Patrick has been a volunteer leader on
Hands On New York Day for the last
three years, coordinating volunteers in
gardening, revitalization, and painting
projects. Since 2003, Lee has also given
more than 400 hours of his time on other
projects including serving meals to the
homeless, sorting baby clothes, gardening
in Riverside Park, singing to nursing
home residents, and more.
Lee Patrick is a New Yorker who cares.
Meeting Immediate Needs
Annual Events
New York Cares’ large-scale events brought tens of thousands of New Yorkers together in powerful ways to strengthen
our community in 2007. Lee Patrick (left) is one of 12,600 annual event volunteers who rolled up their sleeves to paint
and revitalize public schools and public spaces on our large service days. Thousands of others gave coats and gifts to
help more than 120,000 disadvantaged men, women, and children.
Hands On New York Day — A record 4,500 volunteers
participated in our 13th Annual Hands On New York
Day in April. They raked leaves, pruned trees and
bushes, repaired fences, planted hundreds of shrubs
and bulbs, removed trash and winter debris, painted
murals, and more, at 89 sites citywide. Hands On New
York Day 2007, sponsored by HSBC Bank USA, NA,
was our largest ever.
New York Cares Day — Positive and inspiring learning
environments play an important role in student success.
That’s why every October for the past 16 years, New
York Cares has held the city’s largest volunteer event for
public schools. In 2007, 8,100 volunteers worked at 118
schools citywide, transforming indoor and outdoor
spaces with vibrant murals, organizing libraries, and
painting classrooms and school exteriors, to enhance
school and community pride.
Winter Wishes for Kids and Families — We expanded
this holiday program by 30% in 2007, providing gifts to
a record number of kids and families. Sponsored by
Bank of America, Winter Wishes brightened the holidays of 30,000 children,
teens, and families.
After 19 years, we are
still staggered by how
basic many requests are:
an art set, clothes for
school, or, as one wrote,
“Nothing for me, just a
blanket for my mother.”
The New York Cares Coat Drive — For the last 19
years, The New York Cares Coat Drive has provided
desperately needed coats to homeless people, families
that can’t make ends meet, recent immigrants who
arrive in this country with just the clothes on
their backs, seniors on fixed incomes,
and others who simply cannot afford
new coats to make it through the winter.
Sponsored again by Health Plus, the event
collected a record 94,000 coats in 2007.

Meeting Immediate Needs
Year-Round Volunteering
One in five New Yorkers lives in poverty, and there are thousands of families and children in the city’s homeless
system. Volunteers like Lucy Beninati (right) help families and individuals get through challenging times by meeting
urgent needs – serving a meal, visiting seniors who are lonely, and helping provide access to clothing and food. Lucy
and thousands of other community volunteers lent a hand and showed they cared in 2007 by helping:
Adults with Special Needs — Volunteers worked with
adults with disabilities on challenging and inspiring
programs that engaged their minds and their spirits.
Volunteers jogged with disabled and visually impaired
runners, practiced English with immigrants with special
needs, created art, enjoyed recreational outings, and more.
Elderly New Yorkers —
Many elderly residents in
nursing homes have no one
to visit them. Volunteers
provided companionship and
engaged in recreational activities
such as reading, bingo, parties,
and more.
Parks, Gardens and Environment — New York City
parks and gardens reduce pollution in the air, provide
recreational space, and lift the spirits of all New Yorkers.
From March through November, volunteers rolled up
their sleeves to paint, clean and revitalize these vital
public spaces.
Shelter Animals — The chance of shelter animals
finding loving new homes is greatly enhanced by
human contact. Volunteers ensured that animals
remained happy, healthy, and socialized at shelters
around the city while waiting to find new owners.

New York Cares The way to volunteer
Men, Women and Children in Need — In 2007, our
volunteers prepared and served 222,000 meals to
clients at homeless shelters and community centers.
They visited patients in hospitals. Volunteers also
sorted clothing, food, and books, and did other tasks
that directed resources to the people who needed
them most.
School, Community Center and Shelter Revitalization —
New York Cares volunteers painted, cleaned, and revitalized schools and other facilities serving people in need.
Citywide Disaster Readiness — Since 2003, New York
Cares has been The Office of Emergency Management’s
lead organization for coordinating general volunteers
during citywide emergencies. Our staff and Team
Leaders are trained and ready to handle emergency
volunteer needs if they arise.

Lucy Beninati is a New Yorker who cares.
Lucy has been a regular at the New York
Cares project at St. Francis Xavier
Welcome Table Soup Kitchen since 2004.
Every other week, Lucy joined a group of
dedicated volunteers who served meals to
homeless men and women. Lucy started
volunteering after her husband passed
away, and believes that “volunteering
literally saved my life.”
I broaden
children’s
horizons
Mary Kim is a children’s recreation
volunteer at the Arab-American Family
Support Center in Brooklyn. Every month,
Mary helps 7-12 years olds develop
creativity, self-esteem, and communication
skills through arts and crafts. She has been
a New York Cares volunteer for seven
years, also volunteering on hunger and
adult education programs. She says that
volunteering “gives my life more purpose.”
Mary Kim is a New Yorker who cares.
Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
Children
One-third of New York City children, five years or younger, live in families surviving below the federal poverty line.
They are at a high risk of dropping out of school, turning to drugs or crime, and perpetuating the cycle of poverty with
their own children. Mary Kim (left) is a New York Cares children’s education volunteer. Mary and the other volunteers
who work with children know that if we reach kids early we can set them on a different path — a path to learning and
self-sufficiency. In 2007, New York Cares’ children’s education programs helped:
Children with Special Needs — Volunteers worked with
children and teens with disabilities to engage their
minds and lift their spirits. Volunteers worked on
cooking skills with children with autism, practiced
English with immigrant kids and teens, participated
in running races, ice skated, and more.
Elementary and Middle School Children —
Literacy: In 2007, New York Cares volunteers helped
children discover the magic of the written word. Read
to Me volunteers engaged homeless children in
reading exercises and got them their first library cards.
Early Morning Reading volunteers read before school
with students at the city’s lowest performing public
elementary schools. Computer skills programs helped
low-income kids prepare for a digital future. Our
innovative Family Literacy program helped children
and parents work together to develop reading skills.

High School Students —
I SAT Exam Preparation: Our long-standing partnership
with Kaplan, Inc. made SAT preparation available to
700 underserved high school students who could not
otherwise afford it. Students improved test scores,
often by hundreds of points, and built new confidence to pursue their dreams.

New York Cares Youth Service Clubs: Our award-winning
Youth Service Clubs enabled teens from the city’s
least-privileged public schools to volunteer. In 2007,
we worked with 21 public schools, engaging 500 high
school students in service. Our goal is to inspire
young people to become life-long contributors to
their communities by educating them about social
issues, engaging them in youth-led projects, and
developing their leadership skills.

Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
Adults
Planning for a better future starts by believing one is possible. Trevor Beddoe (right) is one of the adult education
volunteers at New York Cares who shared his experience and skills with capable but struggling New Yorkers in 2007
as they worked toward brighter futures for themselves and their families. In 2007, New York Cares adult education
programs helped:
Homeless Men and Women — We offered a range of
job readiness, computer skills, financial literacy, and
apartment search programs that helped people transition
out of homelessness, get jobs, and build more stable
lives. Volunteers brought professional and life skills, as
well as enthusiasm, compassion and support, to inspire
participants in these programs.
Immigrants/English Language Learners — Participants
in our English Language
programs want to be successful
in their new country, and recognize the importance of speaking
English to achieve that success.
With volunteers’ help, they practiced language to navigate daily
life, such as reading labels in the
grocery store, participating in
parent-teacher conferences, and
expanding their vocabularies through casual conversation. Our newest module prepared immigrants for their
U.S. citizenship interviews and exams.
Unemployed and Underemployed Adults — Volunteers
provided one-on-one and small group career development assistance to adults preparing to enter or re-enter
the job market. Volunteers helped participants create and
revise résumés and cover letters, prepare for job interviews, and learn computer skills. Financial Literacy projects
improved clients’ fiscal awareness and maximized limited
incomes. Our free tax preparation service in partnership
with ARIVA, helped hundreds of low-income families get
millions of dollars in refunds last year.
Young Adults — 50% of New York City high school
students do not graduate in four years. In 2007, we
offered GED test preparation help for young adults
looking to attain their high school diplomas,
expanding their career options and opening the door
to higher education.

literacy skills, and more. Trevor has given
an amazing 2,000+ hours through New
York Cares. He says, “I volunteer because
there is a need: a visible gap. Volunteering
with New York Cares can bring the gap
one step nearer to being closed.”
