This is not an #AprilFools joke! Our 2026 TCS @nycmarathon applications to join Team HFNY are still open—but not for long! We are sending 15 runners to the big race on Sun, Nov 1. So take the next step to check off this bucket list item! hfny.org/teamhfny

Hosanna! On #PalmSunday, remember how Jesus entered Jerusalem. Today marks the beginning of #HolyWeek, the most sacred week leading up to #Easter, a reminder of hope. Follow our prayer and consider how you can bring tangible hope to New Yorkers in need. hfny.org/palmsundaypray…

Jesus modeled the ultimate act of sacrificial generosity. As Easter approaches, be inspired by that radical generosity and extend hope to a fellow New Yorker. Your support matters—it strengthens our 80+ nonprofit partners. Become a bright spot in our city! hfny.org/easter

In a city where 1.3 million New Yorkers are food insecure, we still believe every family can access healthy, nourishing food. Join us in April to pray for our neighbors facing food insecurity and for the incredible organizations serving them. hfny.org/prayfornewyork

Mary Beth, our Senior Manager, Generosity & Partnerships, reflects on her @dontwalkby experience: "One of my favorite moments came late in the day. I was standing with a volunteer when he asked, 'Would it be ok if I play dominoes with that man?'" hfny.org/dwbstory
