The holiday season in America is traditionally a time of gift-giving among family and friends. It is also a time for many Americans to help others who are less fortunate than they are. One such charitable effort has been helping people in New York help other New Yorkers for the past century. Along with the smell of roasting chestnuts on Fifth Avenue, and the sound of hand-bells rung by the scores of Santa Claus look-alikes outside the busting Big Apple department stores, the re-appearance of the New York Times Neediest Cases Fund is another signal for New Yorkers that the holiday season is here. Every day from the beginning of November till the end of January, the New York Times newspaper highlights the plight of around ninety people who are down on their luck, who could be helped through readers’ generosity. “I think the unifying spirit here is one of civic conscience,” says Jack Rosenthal, who administers the Neediest Cases Fund for the New York Times Foundation.
The fund was conceived on Christmas Day 1911, after the newspaper’s publisher went for a walk following a big turkey dinner and was approached by a hungry man asking for money for food. The kindly publisher gave it to him and the following Christmas, he asked the staff of his newspaper to go out and find the hundred neediest people in New York and to write stories about them. The publisher felt confident that New Yorkers, once presented with this information, would sympathise and respond.
That remains the spirit of this fund, says Mr. Rosenthal. The fund has received over two hundred million dollars since it began from donors large and small, and as diverse as the city of New York itself. People from all walks of life have donated to the cause.
