Taap.it partners with New York Cares in efforts to collect 100,000 coats with charity event from December 27th to December 30th.

Holiday Season is coming into town. While it’s a great time for people to celebrate the very first snow-flakes of Christmas, it’s obviously a hard period for many others living in poverty and struggling in severe weather of winter. In collaboration with New York Cares - the city’s largest volunteer organization, Taap.it will host “Charity Holiday Market Sale” beginning December 27th and running through December 30th. The market sale will start at 10:00am and close at 6:00pm all four days. It will be hosted at the Taap.it Headquarters located in Midtown Manhattan, 335 West 35th Street Fl. 11th.
“We think charity should start from day one. New York Cares provides those less fortunate with what they need and taap.it is very proud to be a part of this meaningful campaign,” said Duy Huynh, Co-Founder and CEO of Taap.it.
The charity market will allow consumers to purchase below regular priced clothing items, accessories, décor and much more. Half of the proceeds from all purchases at the event will be donated to the Coat Drive program. Plus, everyone can feel free to donate your no-longer-use coats.

Last year, from the great generosity of many sponsors, 58,000 low-income New Yorkers not only got a coat but also received the warmth of human sharing. This year, New York Cares has a new target to give out 100,000 coats and keep disadvantaged people away from the cold season.
“We do believe that having a good cause and do it with a good heart will make some difference by bringing joys and happiness to people,” said Duy
