​

Since our inception, in 1916 WCD has undertaken projects to benefit our community, and have given monetary donations and volunteered our services to support various charities.  Our Charity Committee has vetted and the Board has approved the charities below: 

Bridge to Life: The Bridge to Life, Inc. is an organization dedicated to helping needy pregnant women and their children. Their mission is to ensure a safe and healthy birth of a child and the well-being of the mother.

Hour Children of Long Island City: (Which is named to acknowledge the important hours that shape the life of a child with an incarcerated mother).  This organization has helped these women and their children successfully rejoin the community, reunite with their families and build healthy, independent and secure lives ending the cycle of 
intergenerational incarceration.

​

Center for the Women of New York - The Center for the Women of New York helps women overcome financial, violence, social, wellness, and legal issues by raising awareness and advocating for full gender equality for women, understanding their needs, and connecting them with CWNY services, nonprofit partner organizations, and public resources to aid, uplift, and address their challenges.

Blue Jeans Go Green: We collect used denim wear to be recycled in the form of insulation for needy communities (who would have thought those old jeans could enjoy a second life helping others in need!)
 
Ozanam Hall Nursing Home of Queens: We collect toiletries for the members for the Christmas Holiday Season.
