Make Your Strength from Within Gift by Wednesday, December 31 to Contribute Directly to Our Charitable Care and Community Impact Programs.
For more than 130 years, VNS Health has been here when New Yorkers need us. That legacy continues because of you. Every day, more than 73,000 people count on us for care, support, and compassion, and many of them are facing real challenges. They may be isolated, overlooked, or struggling to access the help they need. You make sure they’re not alone.
Last year, because of your generosity and the support of our community partners, we provided over $69 million in Charitable Care and Community Impact Programs. That’s not just a number. That’s real help for real people, including children, families, older adults, and those living with serious illness. You helped make that happen.
On Thursday, October 23 we kicked off our 2025 Strength from Within employee giving campaign. This is our chance to come together once again in support of the mission we live every day.
We’re proud to share that the leadership team has pledged $45,000 in matching gifts, and we hope you will join them. Every gift, no matter the amount, goes directly to our Charitable Care and Community Impact Programs. You can even choose exactly where your donation is directed. It’s one more way to make your impact personal.
Visit vnshealth.org/strengthfromwithin by Wednesday, December 31 to make your gift or sign up for payroll deductions.
Thank you for being part of this campaign and for everything you do to support our mission.
