I love Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. It's the best. No presents to give, just great times with food and family. And speaking of food – food insecurity, that's hunger to you and I, is a huge issue in this country. And in Boston, you can help. Check out "Thanksgiving Help Needed" from the United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley in Do Good Boston.

It's a great way to help make a difference.

The Big Apple baby!

Take a look - Do Good New York is lining up for launch.  New York will be our 21^st 'local' market to go live with a Do Good channel and, by far, the largest.

We spent quite a bit of time mulling over who we should go with as a launch partner.  New York is one of the last markets that supports multiple daily newspapers and we looked at all of them.  But in talking it over with a variety of folks what we heard consistently was that NY1 is the go-to place for really local information on politics, events, and social and nonprofit stories so they were the natural launch partner for us. 

They have a great platform that crosses from their broadcast (cablecast) property to the web.  There's much that we can do together to help nonprofits in New York.  

The channel is live and 'discoverable' but won't be linked from their site for another week or two - we're working with them right now on adding connect2cause widgets

We've actually already done a lot of nonprofit aggregation work in New York so this one will spool up quickly. If you're a nonprofit in New York and would like to be part of Do Good New York, go here and signup. It's fast and it's free!

It'll be terrific to have the Big Apple on board - we're psyched!
