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. Volunteers may "join" an IHM Midnight Run group at MidnightRun.org.
HOW IS IHM INVOLVED ?
Volunteers at IHM organize and participate in a Midnight Run a few 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.
MIDNIGHT RUN GIFT CARD
Leading up to the Christmas season, IHM offers "Midnight Run Gift Card" - the gift for those who have everything…and want to help those with less. Each is a beautiful art card telling the recipient that you have donated socks or blankets in their name to Midnight Run. The much needed and appreciated items are purchased and distributed to our homeless brothers and sisters on the streets of NYC.
Watch the IHM weekly Bulletin for volunteer opportunities.
