About Volunteers of America:

A beloved New York Tradition since 1902, seasoned New Yorkers and visitors alike look forward to the sight of Volunteers of America's signature Sidewalk Santa's ® serving as a gentle reminder that many of our neighbors struggle to put food on their table. Volunteers of America's Sidewalk Santa's® and their signature chimneys are stationed across Manhattan on Fridays ringing their bells and raising money for the Holiday Food Voucher program.  In addition, donations can be made on line at www.sidewalksantavoa.org.  Rather than relying on a food pantry or soup kitchen, these vouchers allow individuals and families to shop for a holiday meal that is special to them, and respects the fact that they may have health, religious or other dietary restrictions.

Volunteers of America is one of the nation's oldest and largest human services organizations, serving nearly 50,000 people in need in the Greater New York area every year. Their mission is to empower the men, women and children they serve to live safe, healthy, and productive lives. From pre-schoolers with developmental delays to older adults wishing to age at home rather than face institutionalization; from families recovering from domestic violence to youth about to age out of foster care, Volunteers of America—Greater New York offers practical and compassionate support to thousands of the most vulnerable men, women and children in our community each year.
