NAC's Holiday Gift Drive

THANK YOU to all of our incredible corporate partners and supporters for their steadfast support for our families. We received over 3,000 gifts during our Annual Holiday Gift Drive, allowing us to deliver countless smiles to NAC children and families. In addition, over 500 coats were donated, helping keep children safe and warm this winter. We couldn’t do that without all of you.

Back to School with NAC Kids

Our Back to School Drive was a great success! With your help, NAC Kids were ready to return to school this fall! Your support made a difference for over a thousand medically complex children in New York City, ensuring that every child we serve had the supplies they need to succeed!

Literacy for all Book Fair

Every year we designate one special day to celebrate reading and literacy with our NAC kids. Can you believe some NAC kids have never owned their own book? 

Our goal is to give every child new books to call their own. We need 3,000 books in English and Spanish for over 800 children, from infants to teenagers.

Holiday Gift Drive

The holiday season is truly the most wonderful time of the year, but it can also be a difficult time for NAC parents who can only afford the necessities for their children.  You can help to make the holidays brighter for NAC children and families by participating in our holiday drive. Every year, some 3,000 gifts are donated from individuals, community and corporate partners for NAC kids.  Join in to help make the holidays extra special for children in need.

Joan A. Mark Literacy Fund

The Joan A. Mark Literacy Fund was established in May 2020 in Joan’s memory and in recognition of Joan’s lifetime experience and dedication to educational services for children, particularly, those underserved. Joan was a devoted member of the NAC family, and we are honored that Susan & John Gevertz and family initiated this fund in her memory. This fund continues to ensure that all children who come through our doors will have the educational services and opportunities needed to reach their inherent potential.
