There are lots of other ways to help ACE fulfill its mission and raise awareness about our mission. Here are just a couple ways to get started:
1. Run a clothing drive. Collect interview-ready clothes from your coworkers, friends and neighbors. Everything from new or gently used ties to blouses to socks are welcome to help our clients prepare for what is often their first real job interview. Contact us to coordinate delivery at 212-274-0550 .
2. Become a librarian. We are always in need of new or used books for our library to assist our clients in their reading classes, or simply to unwind after a long day sweeping the streets of New York. We welcome donations of books of any level (basic literacy to adult) to help build our library.
3. Go caffeine-free. Forgo your daily latte or mochachino for one week, and get your coworkers to do the same. Donate your savings to ACE and help homeless individuals rebuild their lives.
4. Have fun. Host a theme party or happy hour and ask everyone who attends to donate $10 or opt-in to our Mobile Connections plan. Do the same to get them become our Friends on Facebook.
You get the idea. Contact us at info@acenewyork.org or (212) 274-0550, x52 for more information.
