a New York Winter's Eve

Our annual holiday gala, a New York Winter's Eve, was held on December 8th at the Plaza in NYC. Delectable dining, fine wines, and exciting live and silent auctions made for a most elegant evening. Proceeds from a New York Winter's Eve support the vital social service programs of Volunteers of America, including the Holiday Food Voucher program which ensures some of our community's most vulnerable individuals and families have more to eat during the holiday season.
