Donate This Thanksgiving 2023…
Donate This Thanksgiving 2023: Thanksgiving is a day for spending time with
family and friends, enjoying colorful leaves, and eating delicious pumpkin pie.
But it’s also for giving thanks not just to your family and friends, but to
those in the community and to earth.  A great way to give back and celebrate
this Thanksgiving is to donate! Find places to donate by going to our website’s
Directory. Here you can pick a category of item you want to donate and put in
your address to find recipients near you! During the holiday season, a lot of
extra food is coming from households. Instead of sending that food to a
landfill, why not give it to someone who needs it? Here is a list of some places
where you can donate food. These places fight hunger year-round, but food
donations are very important for these organizations during the holiday season:
 * * Hell’s Kitchen Community Cupboard
   * Iris House: Food Pantry
   * Grand Central Neighborhood Social Service Corporation
   * Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen
   * House of Good Deeds
   * Find closer places in the Directory!

Another way to give thanks this Thanksgiving is by volunteering to give others
meals.
 * New York Common Pantry:
   * * Volunteer to provide families in need with a Thanksgiving meal! Go here
       for more information and ways to volunteer..
 * City Harvest
   * * Their calendar has many events where one can volunteer with them in all
       boroughs. Volunteers can help collect food at different food rescue
       markets. They also accept food donations!
 * New York Cares
   * * The volunteer opportunities with New York Cares are endless. Go here to
       sign up. These opportunities include: handing out bagged groceries,
       delivering lunch to seniors and homebound residents, packing pantry bags,
       and so many more.

Donating and volunteering with these organizations is a great way to help your
community and the environment this Thanksgiving!…

donateNYC’s Partnership Volunteer Sessions…
DonateNYC has many incredible partners that we have highlighted in previous
articles and who you can read more about on our website. Here, we are going to
be talking about two of our partners with frequent volunteer sessions that you
can join: Brooklyn Book Bodega and FABSCRAP. We had a blast getting in depth
overviews of how they work and seeing what goes on behind the scenes!          
First, we went to FABSCRAP which was such an amazing experience. Volunteers come
in and get trained quickly and then are off to work. There are a lot of
volunteers who come regularly and create a community feeling! You get three
hours to sort through fabric from different brands to see what is useable and
what is going to be sent to “scraps”. One cool fact is that the scraps don’t
even get sent to landfills – they get used as carpet or insulation in houses!
Truly everything gets used and it’s great to see waste streams that aren’t
talked about as often being reused. After sorting, the volunteers can shop and
get free five pounds of clothing. The amount of fabric you’re able to bring home
for mending and other projects is amazing!             Now on to Brooklyn Book
Bodega, which was another amazing experience! Just like at FABSCRAP, there was
an orientation on how to sort the books that are donated. Brooklyn Book Bodega
is looking for books that are in great condition. Part of the session was
sorting the books based on quality and on age. While there, I even got to see a
donation being done and it was so cool to see people in the community bringing
tons of books. These books that are being donated can be used by someone who
wants them instead of sadly sitting in a landfill! After three hours of
volunteering with BBB you get to take as many books as you’d like to bring home.
Which can be great gifts for family and friends! To volunteer with FABSCRAP you
can view their upcoming events here. To volunteer with Brooklyn Book Bodega you
can visit their volunteer page here. And if you would like to volunteer with any
of our other partners go to our website:
https://www.nyc.gov/assets/donate/site/Partnership/About. Here you can find all
our partners and their own individual websites where you can sign up to
volunteer!…

donateNYC Halloween 2023 Costume Guide…
Donate NYC’s Guide to Secondhand Halloween Costumes for 2023 - 1 Every Halloween
we must decide on our elaborate costumes. However, when people buy so many
costumes just to throw out after the weekend, Halloween can become one of the
most wasteful holidays around! That’s why we’re here to help pick out costumes
that are trendy yet easy to find at your local thrift store. We went thrifting
at our partner thrift shops such as Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Housing Works
and found some ideas for a couple of costumes that would be great this
Halloween. The Netflix Show “Wednesday” was extremely popular this year, and the
Addams Family members go great with Halloween. So here is a Wednesday Addams
Outfit…     Just like Wednesday, Barbie was another hit this year and there are
so many different Barbie options to be. But pink is Barbie’s color. We found
pink pants and a shirt but there are plenty of pink options at all the thrift
stores!     Pirates are a classic costume seen during Halloween. At Housing
Works, we found the perfect dress and shoes for a pirate. With these basics, you
can dress it up further however you want. Bandanas from the thrift store,
corsets, or truly anything your heart desires!     These are just three ideas,
but the number of options one can make from the thrift store is limitless. With
costumes like these, different clothes can be swapped in or mixed and matched,
which makes your costume so unique! Even using clothes you have at home with
different accessories or combined with options from the thrift store can help
make Halloween less wasteful while still fun!…
