Giving Tuesday Redefined. Highlighting non-profit organizations doing great things:
We are committed to uplifting the voices of our community and that not only means telling their story through our brands partner, but giving back in a meaningful way. In honor of November representing the month of thanksgiving and supporting the local community, we wanted to give back to an organization we have previously highlighted in the past year: Henry Street Settlement. Henry Street Settlement is an organization that delivers a wide range of social service and arts programming to more than 100,000 New Yorkers each year, founded in 1893 by social work pioneer Lillian Wald and is based on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
Charity Navigator: 97 rating (out of 100)
Rating: 4/4 stars
Henry Street Settlement has been working for more than 125 years to alleviate the effects of poverty on the Lower East Side community, for all of New York City, and for the nation. They fight poverty by preparing people to enter the workforce, ensuring educational opportunity, providing transitional and supportive housing for the homeless, providing mental and physical health care, and creating access to the arts. Guided by the blueprint left by their trailblazing founder, Lillian Wald, she believed "Each of us is whole and worthy. Poverty is a social issue (not an individual failing). There is power in bridging differences. Neighbors matter. In times of need, act."
