Who We Help
It would be very difficult, if not impossible, for us to focus our support on just one cause. We feel that terminally ill children, homeless men, abused animals and even our home, Mother Earth, needs our attention. As such, we support a wide range of causes, from local soup kitchens to international humanitarian groups.
Our beneficiaries include...
HEIFER INTERNATIONAL
Since 1944, Heifer International had been helping families from around the world end hunger by providing them with a long term solution to become self sustainable. A “starter kit” consisting of tools, livestock and training are provided to the families, and they learn to raise their own animals and grow their own produce so they can provide for themselves season after season.

In addition, 1,511 volunteers collectively spent 40,357 hours visiting and delivering meals to New York’s frail aged.
NEW YORK TIMES THE NEEDIEST CASES FUND
The concept of New York TImes the Neediest Cases Fund was started by the then-publisher of the New York Times in 1911, when he, by chance, encountered a man in need.
