#KindnessBeatsTheVirus

A world without art?…

#EveryTuesdayisGivingTuesday 🙏
Our staff is committed to supporting the good in our world.🤝🌎 Every Tuesday, we feature an organization that is truly making a difference in their community.

nycthrive creates hope and opportunity through arts, sports, and mentoring in and around public schools by connecting them with artists, youth workers, and volunteers. During COVID-19, they’ve adapted their programs for online learning and have served 45 schools with their #KindnessBeatsTheVirus campaign and "Tools for Schools." Since 2011, more than 15,000 students and 3,000 volunteers have created a total of 75,000 sq. ft. of public art!🎨🖼

💬“The antidote to the taker is the giver. 2020 took so much. It also demonstrated the resilience of humanity, and a generous spirit that rises above all.” Jeremy Del Rio, Executive Director

🎭We can't imagine a world without visual or performing arts -- and neither can you. Yet our cities sentence millions of our most vulnerable students to an artless education everyday. Help them “Bring Art Back” to low-income schools! 👉Tap the link in our bio👈 ...

Members of our church have been able to bless neighbors and friends with grocery gift cards during this season. Together, we can get through this season! (And thank you for your generosity!) #kindnessbeatsthevirus ...

Over the past couple months I have been volunteering at a food bank in Queens through newyorkcares with 9millionreasons . They provide about 30,000 meals to families daily throughout every borough in NYC. It’s truly been a blessing to be a part of this project and help those in need during this time. If you, your family, your friends, your neighbors, ANYONE needs food...please don’t hesitate to reach out and I will make sure they get some. No one deserves to go hungry. ——————————————

Watching them encourage and celebrate one another with enough energy and enthusiasm to launch a rocket ship 🚀 into outer space- or to give wings to dreams- was absolutely amazing and incredibly impactful. A total privilege and absolute pleasure for which I am eternally grateful. Pure joy.

And the song they wrote!? And recorded!? On the spot! In one sitting! Many of whom had never written a song or been to a recording studio. Brilliant!
