Helping the Victims
At a time of great tragedy, many of us yearn to help and feel the
frustration that comes with not being able to find a way to lend a
hand. The lines of people offering to give blood and the crowds
trying to volunteer stand as tributes to this, the best of our
human instincts. To provide some tangible assistance to the
families left in great need after the Wo! rld Trade Center tragedy,
The New York Times is establishing a one-month campaign to collect
contributions for victims and their families.
The 9/11 Neediest Fund, managed by The New York Times Neediest
Cases Fund, will help provide financial relief to rescue workers
and civilians or their families. The fund will cover all
administrative costs. This will be a special campaign distinct from
the annual Neediest Cases drive, for which this year's 90th
anniversary campaign will begin on Nov. 4.
Contributions from the public will be accepted through Oct. 11.
The proceeds will be allocated through three foundations
representing the city's uniform services plus the seven social
service agencies that distribute funds for The Times's annual
Neediest Cases appeal. Contributions may be mailed to:
The New York Times 9/11 Neediest Fund,
P.O. Box 5193,
General Post Office, New York, NY 10087.
Online contributions may be ma! de at:
