Strength from Within Update: Today is #GivingTuesday!
Today is Giving Tuesday. Created in 2012 as a day to encourage people to do good, the day now inspires hundreds of millions of people across the globe to give to charitable causes.
That includes right here at VNS Health. Our Strength from Within Employee Giving Campaign is now in full swing. Since its launch last month, the campaign has raised more than $73,500 to help address health disparities throughout New York neighborhoods through our charitable care and community benefit programs.
How to Donate
To make a gift, visit vnshealth.org/strengthfromwithin. Donations can be made through payroll deduction, credit card, or check.
No matter how much you choose to give, your gift will be making an important difference in the lives of our vulnerable neighbors. The 2023 Strength from Within Employee Giving Campaign ends on December 31st.
Matching $40,000 Gift
This year, VNS Health’s Executive Leadership Team has pledged to match $40,000 in donations.
