We miss you!

Today would have been Lend An Ear 2020.

A message from Roxanne Cote, Resource Development Manager:

“Not having the Lend An Ear event is like missing a close friend’s birthday or anniversary. I will miss seeing you this year. I am very proud that our event has evolved over the years and I will miss seeing all the familiar faces who have supported us year after year.

“Each year our guests are asked to fill out a donation form. This year, I’m asking you to make YOUR donation online. Please donate by midnight. There is a great need for funding for the crisis services, now more than ever. Thank you very much in advance for your gift.”

We’re disappointed that we can’t physically gather for Lend An Ear’s 10th Anniversary tonight as we’d planned to. But we’ve been celebrating all month long by sharing photos, videos and stories to lendanearyyc.com. Here are a few things we’ve shared:

Thank You to our Sponsors
