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.

Another new addition to CardsThatGive: Citymeals-on-Wheels.  Citymeals provides 2.1 million meals each year, and each of their cards represents a donation of a holiday meal delivered to a homebound elderly New Yorker.

Citymeals-on-Wheels

Citymeals is one of the largest meals on wheels programs in the U.S.  It serves more than 17,000 needy seniors each year and coordinates thousands of volunteers to deliver the meals and visit with the frail recipients.

Five Citymeals cards cost $32; imprinting is available for orders of 100 or more.  Six holiday card designs are available, or you can choose a vellum insert to use with your own cards. 

Holiday tribute cards (cards representing small donations) are especially popular with businesses.  To see more of these greetings, please visit our Tribute Card section.
