About Angelwish

Angelwish was created to help busy people grant the holiday and birthday wishes of children living with chronic illnesses.  In 2010, after 10 years of focusing on HIV/AIDS, Angelwish expanded its mission to include children living with chronic illnesses such as asthma, diabetes and kidney disease. Angelwish achieves its mission by ensuring that 100% of individual donations are used for program services and that those funds are extended, where possible, to incorporate an educational component giving young people a hands on lesson in philanthropy.   For more information go to http://www.angelwish.org

About Citymeals-on-Wheels

Citymeals-on-Wheels provides a continuous lifeline of nutritious food and human company to homebound elderly New Yorkers in need, helping them to live with dignity in their own familiar homes and communities.  Gifts specifically designated to cover administrative expenses make it possible for us to promise that 100% of all other donations will be used entirely for the preparation and delivery of meals.  The organization was founded in 1981 by Gael Greene and James Beard after reading a newspaper article about homebound elderly New Yorkers with nothing to eat on weekends and holidays.   For more information go to http://www.citymeals.org
