​

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.
 
Mary By the Sea: Is a respite home for women who are receiving treatment for cancer.  They provide services that complement their medical treatment, including oncology massage, nutrition education, individual counseling, Reiki, guided meditation, expressive writing, and yoga.  They offer integrative services to women with cancer and provide rest and support. 

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. 

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.
