SNEAKER DRIVE

Back to school shopping is a luxury that causes some families a lot of stress. Through donations, we bought 40 pairs of sneakers to help kids start their new year. Rather than their old shoes or hand-me-downs they may not have chosen, they received a brand new pair.  A special thanks to the Six Dollar Sock Challenge for their generous donation of socks to compliment the sneakers.  

FOOD DRIVE

We had a very successful food drive at Shoprite thanks to the wonderful contributions from our communities! 

CARE PACKAGES

We have started sharing your generosity with those often seen at the Hicksville Train Station.

MOTHER'S DAY

PHOTO SHOOT

We were able to treat some of the mothers with a special photo shoot with their children. 

SPRING GIFT BAGS FOR CHILDREN

Spring has sprung at Jericho Cares!! The children were given gift bags with fun toys to get them outside enjoying the Spring weather! 

TOILETRY DRIVE

With an Amazon Wishlist and a few drop off locations, we collected toiletries for 2 weeks in March. We collected over $2000 in toiletries and enough to last us for months. Big Thank you to Legislator Lafazan and Legislator Drucker for their partnership and help making this a huge success. 

*Toiletries cannot be purchased with food stamps so this is an important drive and will be an ongoing event.

VALENTINE'S DAY GIFTS

Baskets were given to the children for Valentine's Day.

HOLIDAY 
GIFTS

Through the generosity of our supporters we were able to distribute gifts and spread some holiday cheer!!

THANKSGIVING HOT MEALS

 We purchased Boston Market gift cards and Cider Mill Thanksgiving gift baskets to be delivered to local residents. Children in our district made gift cards for each of the families.

Additionally, two local teens donated their B’Nai Mitzvah Project proceeds to feed the motel residents. Individual hot meals were provided by Fireside Caterers for each resident and delivered on Thanksgiving Day.

HALLOWEEN

GOODIE BAGS

Our children volunteers decorated bags for Halloween and then filled them with Halloween goodies!  

BACKPACK DRIVE

Together with the John Theissen Foundation we raised money to provide each child with a backpack filed with school supplies for the year. Additionally each family was given a welcome basket filled with toiletries and Covid-19 products, masks and sanitizers.
