Today is Giving Tuesday 2021, where millions of people across the world celebrate the act of being generous. It is a global generosity movement where individuals can give their money through donations or give their time through volunteering to help other people or to support local or global causes, non-profits or charities near and dear to their hearts.

Giving Tuesday 2021 reminds us of how important it is to give back to our community.

Thankfully, giving back is a part of every day for us at The Leo House. Starting in 1889, The Leo House set out to provide a safe haven for weary travelers in New York City. While times have changed, we’ve kept to our mission and legacy of charitable efforts.

As we celebrate Giving Tuesday 2021, we want to shine a light on the charitable programs that help us care for our global community members. If you’re looking for a charity to support this Giving Tuesday, consider donating to one of the programs below.

Supporting Families Visiting the Sick in NYC

Families visiting sick or hospitalized family members have access to utilize special pricing while loved ones are receiving care in or near New York City as a service to help alleviate financial stress.  

The Heroes Rate

The Leo House is offers a discounted rate to service members and their families. The Heroes Rate is available to individuals in the military, law enforcement and fire department. We offer this special pricing as a way to thank our heroes for their service and to alleviate financial stress for them and their families.

Lodging for Sisters 

Lodging is offered at The Leo House for the sisters working here to support their public ministry. For example, Sister Carole Gurdak, CSA, ministered for many years as a teacher, grammar school principal, a Regional Coordinator for the Sisters of Saint Agnes, and as a volunteer at the St. John the Baptist Parish food program.
