12 Ways to Give Back This Year

Through the years, you’ve found countless meaningful ways to support the clients of God’s Love. Through volunteering, donating, and simply acting as an ambassador, you have done so much to make sure we can always be there for our neighbors living with severe and chronic illness.

In that spirit, here are some unique ways you can give back to God’s Love.

What’s an easy thing to do with friends that raises awareness and funds for God’s Love? A Facebook fundraiser! Every $10 you raise funds a delicious, medically tailored meal for a client living with illness. Start your Facebook fundraiser here.

In honor of their wedding, Alexandra Idol and Justin Sperling encouraged guests to make donations to God’s Love. In total, they have raised over $90,000, funding more than 9,000 meals!

Last year, food stylist and photographer extraordinaire, Julia Choi, took photos of our entrees, soups, and desserts, for the Menu section of our site. This isn’t the first time Julia has put her professional skills to use supporting God’s Love — you’ll remember her photos of the cookies and brownies in our holiday catalog!

genLOVE member Nicholas Compagnone hosted the first annual Rockaway Soiree fundraiser at his home in the Far Rockaways this past July. Read about the night and learn more about how you can get involved in our young professionals group genLOVE here.

Our Thursday night volunteer shift held their 9th annual Lasagna dinner fundraiser in November. In the past 9 years, they’ve raised over $20,000!

Chef Amanda Freitag, after competing twice for God’s Love on the hit TV show Chopped, beat the other chefs in a special Thanksgiving episode in  November. We held an exciting viewing the night the episode aired and toasted her with champagne when she won!

And there are many ways to get involved this year. Perhaps you’ll purchase a Tile for Love, host a Facebook fundraiser, or find another way to give. Perhaps you’ll make birthday cards for our clients or sponsor something on our Wish List. Perhaps you’ll join us at NYC Pride or become a member of our Legacy Society.

Whatever your involvement, and however you choose to give your time, talent, support, and love, know that we are grateful for all of the many ways you help make our work possible. Thank you, from the bottom of our pots.
