ABOUT US

PROJECTS WITH CARE, a 501 (c)(3) organization, was founded in 1992 by Rosalie Joseph and Tom Fontana and, to date, has benefited over 60,000 children in the NYC area. 

Originally named Stockings With Care, the not-for-profit organization was dedicated to making sure that families in need could create the magic of Christmas morning for their children.

After 28 years of partnering with the best social service agencies in New York City, we extended our commitment to helping families with more initiatives, and became PROJECTS WITH CARE. PROJECTS WITH CARE’s annual initiatives include our back-to-school program, Project First Day and our holiday program, Stockings With Care. 

In addition, the organization participates year-round on special projects in partnership with local social service agencies. Generous individual and corporate sponsors provide vital support and resources so PROJECTS WITH CARE can continue to create empowering experiences for NYC children and families.
