New York Says Thank You Foundation
The New York Says Thank You Foundation is a U.S. nonprofit organization with the mission to bring hope and healing to communities affected by disasters. Founded after the events of September 11, 2001, the organization focuses on empowering survivors to "pay forward" the kindness they received by volunteering in other disaster-stricken areas.
Background
The foundation was established as a response to the outpouring of support New York City received in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This spirit of generosity and solidarity inspired its founders to create a movement where survivors of disasters could help others in similar situations, thereby fostering hope and resilience.
Programs and Activities
The organization is known for several key initiatives:
- Stars of HOPE: This program involves painting wooden stars with messages of hope and resilience. These stars are then displayed in communities recovering from natural disasters or mass violence, serving as symbols of healing and support[1][4].
- Community Service: Volunteers travel annually to different disaster sites to provide aid and support. This has included responses to major disasters like the San Diego wildfires and Hurricane Katrina[3].
Impact
New York Says Thank You Foundation has made a significant impact over more than a decade of operations:
- Reach: The organization has helped communities in all 50 states and 24 countries worldwide. It has engaged over 600,000 people in its service initiatives and inspired millions of others[2].
- Recognition: It has been featured prominently in major media outlets such as The New York Times, USA Today, and NBC Nightly News. In 2011, the foundation received the CNN Heroes Award[2].
Core Values
The foundation operates under several core values:
- Empowerment through Helping Others: The organization believes that helping others is a powerful way to heal.
- Unity and Strength: It emphasizes the importance of collective action and solidarity.
- Love is Stronger than Hate: A core principle guiding its approach to fostering community healing and resilience[2].
