Newsday Charities Help-A-Family
 | Thousands of families are struggling to get by on LI. |
The economy is affecting everyone, but for
some it is absolutely devastating. Thousands of children and families
right here on Long Island wait in hope that the paycheck will stretch
far enough; the heat and lights will stay on; the children will be able
to eat; 
the rent will get paid. But unfortunately, without help, many of those hopes will go unfulfilled.
We are asking you to help us change that by participating in the Newsday Charities Help-A-Family appeal, the only island-wide campaign that unites Long Islanders in the act of giving in this unique way.
Newsday Charities, a fund of the McCormick Foundation, counts on compassionate Newsday readers to raise money to help catch people when they fall on hard times. The Foundation will match every dollar raised at 50 cents. That means your donation of $20 becomes $30; $100 becomes $150. Every dollar makes a tremendous difference in the lives of those in need here on Long Island during the holidays and throughout the year.
Newsday and the McCormick Foundation pay all administrative fees, so 100% of your donation, plus the match, goes to nonprofit agencies on Long Island serving children and families in need.
A growing number of children and families are counting on us, so we hope we can count on you. You can make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. To make a contribution, donate online or print a donation form.
