The holiday season is a special time of year, a time filled with excitement and anticipation. Sadly, many families do not have the means to purchase even the most basic holiday gift.

This winter, thanks to the incredible generosity of New Yorkers, New York Cares was able to help fulfill the holiday wishes of 33,000 disadvantaged kids and families.

Check out pictures from a few of our Winter Wishes parties and thank you letters from children who received gifts on our Facebook page.
