Giving Back
Giving Tuesday:
Today is Giving Tuesday and Yarn Over New York is supporting Harlem Children's Zone and the Manna-hatta Fund. We encourage you to join us in donating to these charities, or another charity of your choosing today.
I chose these two charities in acknowledgement of the history, culture and privilege divide of my home City.
-My home and business are located on unceded Lenape land. I cannot think about this without crying. There is so little that I can do to repair the immense damage of land theft. Donations to the Manna-hatta Fund go directly to the American Indian Community House, which serves not only the ancestral indigenous people of New York City, but also a beautiful melting pot of other peoples who have migrated here.
-In 2003, I moved to NYC and lived in a tiny Harlem apartment with three other people. Over the last 19 years, roommates have come and gone. And now, I finally live here alone and am immensely privileged to be able to run my business in my home. Harlem is a vibrant, historically Black neighborhood. As a white person, I must acknowledge that while I may not intend to contribute to gentrification, the impact is there. Donations to Harlem Children's Zone give direct support to local children.
