New York, NY – February 20, 2025 – The spirit of giving will once again illuminate New York City as the Caring Hearts Foundation announces its annual holiday charity drive for 2025. This year’s initiative, themed “Spreading Kindness,” aims to provide essential support and bring joy to individuals and families in need throughout the five boroughs.
The Caring Hearts Foundation has a distinguished history of community engagement, and this year’s drive promises to be their most impactful yet. They are partnering with local businesses, schools, and community centers to collect donations of non-perishable food items, warm clothing (coats, hats, gloves), new, unwrapped toys, children’s books, and gift cards to local grocery stores. The organization is also seeking volunteers to assist with sorting, packing, and distributing the collected items.
“The holidays should be a time of joy and togetherness, not hardship. We believe that every New Yorker deserves to experience the warmth of the season, and we’re committed to making that a reality through this year’s ‘Spreading Kindness’ drive,” said Sarah Miller, Executive Director of the Caring Hearts Foundation.
The “Spreading Kindness” campaign will run from November 15, 2025, to December 20, 2025, encompassing the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. Donation drop-off points will be located at all branches of the New York Public Library, participating supermarkets (list to be available on website by November 1st), and designated community centers in each borough (list to be available on website by November 1st). A full list of locations and accepted items will be available on the organization’s website: www.caringheartsny.org by November 1st.
Beyond material donations, the charity is also encouraging acts of kindness throughout the holiday season. “Kindness is contagious. A simple act of generosity can brighten someone’s day and inspire them to pay it forward. We’re encouraging everyone to find small ways to spread kindness in their communities, whether it’s volunteering at a soup kitchen, visiting a senior center, or simply offering a helping hand to a neighbor,” added Ms. Miller.
The Caring Hearts Foundation is calling on all New Yorkers to join them in making the 2025 holiday season a little brighter for those in need. Whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading kindness, every contribution will make a difference.
