| Nyack Homeless Project, Ltd. started ten years ago as a spontaneous idea among a group of friends that wanted to give back to others in need. They made sandwiches and handed them to homeless people in NYC parks, living under Federal Highways, and in children’s group homes during the winter holiday season. Each year the project spontaneously grew, adding children and teenagers to remind them of a world that lives beyond their video screens. In 2005 NHP became a non-profit organization in the State of New York.
NHP volunteers begin raising money and receiving donations after Thanksgiving from generous businesses, restaurants, communities, schools, and individuals to make sandwiches, donate baked goods, winter clothing, and give financial aid. All donations are prepared on Dec. 24 and delivered on the morning of Dec. 25th to homeless people in Manhattan and in Rockland County. Each year the NHP with the help of many youth groups, college students, school children, families and adults continues to raise awareness as well as donate boxed foods, toiletries, winter coats, hats, gloves, and sandwiches to children, teens, men, wome, and families in need in Rockland City, Westchester, Connecticut, and New York City. Truly a grass-roots organization, we are open to any suggestions, ideas and contributions that can assist people during the cold winter months.If you would like to find out more about Nyack Homeless Project or help in any way through private or corporate financial, food or clothing donations, or volunteer for next year’s drive, please visit our website at: Or contact us at: info@nyackhp.org throughout the year.
