Helping the Victims
At a time of great tragedy, many of us yearn to help and feel the
frustration that comes with not being able to find a way to lend a hand.
The lines of people offering to give blood and the crowds trying to volunteer
stand as tributes to this, the best of our human instincts. To provide some
tangible assistance to the families left in great need after the World Trade
Center tragedy, The New York Times is establishing a one-month campaign
to collect contributions for victims and their families.
The 9/11 Neediest Fund, managed by The New York Times Neediest
Cases Fund, will help provide financial relief to rescue workers and civilians
or their families. The fund will cover all administrative costs. This will be a
special campaign distinct from the annual Neediest Cases drive, whose 90th
anniversary campaign will begin on Nov. 4.
Contributions from the public will be accepted through Oct. 11. The
proceeds will be allocated through three foundations representing the city's
uniform services plus the seven social service agencies that distribute funds
for The Times's annual Neediest Cases appeal. Contributions may be mailed
to: The New York Times 9/11 Neediest Fund, P.O. Box 5193, General
Post Office, New York, NY 10087. Online contributions may be made at:
