Give Warmth, Joy, and Hope This Holiday Season

Your donation helps bring comfort and dignity to migrant families through coats, toys, and a traditional Venezuelan Christmas dinner.

At VIA, every act of giving is personal.

Our Annual Holiday Campaign brings together kindness, community, and culture to support migrant families during the holiday season.

What began as a small neighborhood effort has grown into a heartfelt tradition that brings people together. Donors, volunteers, and families are all united by the spirit of giving.

Each contribution helps us continue three meaningful initiatives that make the holidays brighter for hundreds of families.

How Your Donations Are Used

How Your Donations Are Used

Your generosity directly funds three community-driven programs, each designed to make a real and personal impact.

We carefully allocate every dollar to ensure your support reaches those who need it most. Your gift turns into warmth, smiles, and shared meals.

The Winter Coat Drive

A warm coat can make all the difference.
Each winter coat we provide is selected in the right size and style for someone who truly needs it. It may be a parent walking to work, a child heading to school, or a senior facing the cold.
Your donation ensures no one is left to face winter without protection or dignity.

Toy Drive

Every toy sparks joy.
We collect and gift toys that light up children’s faces, reminding them that they are seen, valued, and loved.
Each toy is chosen with care to reflect the child’s age and interests, turning generosity into lasting memories of kindness.

Traditional Venezuelan Christmas Dinner​

Every year, VIA brings the warmth of home to hundreds of migrants and refugees in New York through our Traditional Venezuelan Christmas Dinner. More than a meal, it’s a message of care, belonging, and solidarity — a reminder that even far from home, no one is alone. Since 2017, thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we’ve shared hundreds of homemade dinners filled with love and hope. Help us keep this tradition alive.

Help us share the true spirit of giving.

Together, we can bring warmth, joy, and hope to hundreds of families this holiday season.
