New York Cares Gala

Join us as we celebrate one of NYC's iconic entities—the New York Cares Coat Drive.

For 35 years, New York Cares and its incredible volunteers have collected and distributed nearly 2.5 million coats to New Yorkers in need. But there is so much more to celebrate! Our volunteers empower the next generation through education programs, attend to immediate needs like hunger and homelessness, spruce up public spaces, and ultimately share the desire to make a difference in New York City—365 days a year!
