Newsday Charities Help-A-Family

Right here on Long Island, people are in need. A family loses their home and has nowhere to go. Parents struggle to make ends meet and keep food on the table. Kids and families are victims of domestic strife with nowhere to turn for help. Children lack the proper skills and education they need to prepare for their future.

We are asking you to help us change that by participating in the Newsday Charities Help-A-Family campaign. Newsday Charities, a fund of the McCormick Foundation, counts on compassionate Long Islanders to raise money to help catch people when they fall on hard times. The McCormick Foundation will match your gift at fifty cents on the dollar. That means your donation of $20 becomes $30; $100 becomes $150

In addition, Newsday and the Foundation pay all administrative and campaign expenses, so 100% of your gift, plus the match, goes to support local nonprofit agencies with vital programs that:

  • Offer shelter and transitional housing for the homeless
  • Provide steady access to nutritious food for the hungry
  • Ensure safe havens for children and families suffering from domestic abuse
  • Support youth education opportunities for a successful future

A growing number of children and families are counting on us, so we hope we can count on you. To make a contribution, donate online or print a donation form.
