Help NYC Dads Feed Families on #GivingTuesday, Nov. 29

NYC Dads Group members are needed Nov. 29 to help sort and bundle 400 pounds of food donated by Plum Organics®, the nation’s leading organic baby food brand, that will help feed local families in need this holiday season.

The effort is part of #GivingTuesday, a global day of outreach. #GivingTuesday is dedicated to helping others meant to kick-off the holiday season and inspire people to collaborate in improving their local communities and to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes.

The benefactor of our manual labor and Plum Organics generosity will be GOOD+ Foundation, a nonprofit group that works with a network of more than 100 community-based organizations across the country to distribute essentials to families in need.

The NYC donation is one of seven Plum Organics has made as part of a #GivingTuesday partnership with our parent, City Dads Group. In all, Plum Organics will donate more than 24,000 meals to charitable organizations chosen by seven City Dads Groups across the country.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Plum Organics to help families in need across the United States this holiday season,” said Matt Schneider, co-founder of City Dads Group. “#GivingTuesday has become a staple of our annual calendar, and we appreciate the opportunity to give back to these important local organizations.”

#GivingTuesday started in 2012, in part as a response to the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping events. It originated as a collaboration between New York’s 92nd Street Y, a longtime NYC Dads Group partner, and the United Nations Foundation. Tens of thousands of organizations worldwide annually participate in the day.

This will be third consecutive year NYC Dads Group has participated in #GivingTuesday activities. In years past, it has collected, sorted and bundled clothes for GOOD+ predecessor, Baby Buggy.

NYC Dads Group members and others who are not able to participate in any of these events in person can follow our work on Twitter and Instagram. By using hashtags #PlumParents and #GivingTuesday, you can see pictures of our dads across the country supporting families in need.
