5 Nyack Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

NYACK, NY — If you’re like many of your Nyack neighbors, you may spend a good part of the holiday season with your credit card in hand buying gifts for family and friends. Coming up soon is a chance to give back to the local community.

Giving Tuesday, which in 2024 falls on Dec. 3, is a day dedicated to supporting nonprofit and community groups. Since 2012, nonprofits worldwide have used the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to galvanize fundraising, rally volunteers and add momentum to their causes.

Maintaining funding is a constant challenge for many nonprofits that fill gaps and meet other needs in the Nyack area.

Here are five local nonprofits to consider getting behind on Giving Tuesday:

• Nyack Park Conservancy: revitalizes and enhances Nyack's Hudson River parks.
• The Nyack Center: creates connections across social, cultural and economic boundaries, improve lives of all in Nyacks and larger Rockland community.
• Rockland County YMCA: aims to provide youth development, healthy living and community-focuse initiatives across Rockland.
• Meals on Wheels Programs and Services of Rockland: enhances wellness of Rockland's older adults and their families by providing services that support their safety, independence and health.
• Habitat for Humanity of Rockland County: work to create homeownership opportunies, fostering stable living environmnents in Rockland.
