Charities Responding to Hurricane Sandy


Citymeals-on-Wheels Holiday Card

Several of the nonprofits on our site are responding effectively to Hurricane Sandy.  Please consider a card purchase from -- or a donation to -- these highly-rated organizations.

As of Wednesday, Citymeals-on-Wheels had delivered 8,370 three-meal emergency boxes -- 25,110 meals -- to frail elderly New Yorkers affected by Sandy. 


Feeding America Tribute Card




Feeding America has sent thousands of pounds of food and other supplies -- as well as truckloads of water -- to New Jersey and other affected areas.

It offers a great "Hope" tribute card that's good for many occasions, including holidays.  ($25 per card.)

Charity Navigator gives Feeding America 4 stars.

City Harvest Holiday Tribute Card


Though City Harvest's 45,000 square foot food rescue center was itself flooded, the 4-star charity is back delivering thousands of pounds of food throughout New York City.


Robin Hood Holiday Card, designed by Marchesa
 
Robin Hood's holiday cards help fund its work to fight poverty in New York City, including its support of food programs throughout the city.  Just one of these programs, Brooklyn's Bread and Life, distributed more than 3,000 meals yesterday.

Robin Hood is also a 4-star charity.
