Community suggestions
Organizations, neighbors, supplies, or a situation you’d like us to know about. Giving doesn’t have to mean money—sometimes a needed item or a helping hand makes the difference. These are community submissions, not verified fundraisers. Likes show support; they don’t award money. Do your research: check the organizer, the need, and any support link before giving or offering help.

Suggest a way to give
How could we show up for someone in NYC? Help can be monetary or non-monetary: a wheelchair for a family member, supplies for a classroom, recognition for a deserving teacher or school, or practical help for someone who needs a hand. Tell us what’s needed and a practical way people can help. Research the request before sharing, and include only details you have permission to make public.
FROM NYC, WITH LOVE
