Midnight Run
We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all that you do! Needless to say, resources are scarce so your generosity is greatly appreciated!
You may still donate to our Run's in the following ways:- E-Drive: consider online ordering of Men's boxer/briefs in dark colors/white/black/gray, athletic socks (crew or calf), and have them shipped to us at 27 Warwick Ave Scarsdale, NY 10583.
- Amazon e-gift card or Walmart e-gift card to IHMMidnightRun@gmail.com and we'll order what is most needed. The gift card is the best way for us to build our toiletry inventory.
- Let us know if you think you can help out. Susan & Paul Doyle - 914.472.7515 | IHMMidightRun@gmail.com

WHAT IS MIDNIGHT RUN?
Midnight Run is a volunteer organization dedicated to finding common ground between the housed and the homeless. Midnight Run coordinates relief missions all year long, with volunteers from churches, synagogues, schools and other civic groups, to distribute food, clothing, blankets and personal care items to the homeless poor on the streets of New York City. The late-night relief efforts create a forum for trust, sharing, understanding and affection. That human exchange, rather than the exchange of goods, is the essence of the Midnight Run mission.
MidnightRun.org is the site for the organizing body. The site has information on the organization.HOW IS IHM INVOLVED ?
Volunteers at IHM organize and participate in a Midnight Run four times a year. Additional runs may also be organized for any IHM group of volunteers that would like to do a one-group activity. In addition, groups are always welcome to organize donation "drives", for example, a sneaker or backpack drive. Such drives are a rewarding community service activity for youth groups and sports teams. . Associated with each run are a Toiletry Drive that takes place in the weeks prior to the event, with donations collected at Value Drugs in Eastchester, and a clothing/donation sort the Wednesday before the run. Both are great activities for families and kids looking for a volunteer opportunity. Community Service hours can be earned by our volunteer students.
