Finding Hope Through Reading
Care for the Homeless is deeply grateful for New York Book Forum’s continued support in helping bring comfort, inspiration, and moments of escape to children and adults experiencing homelessness, often during some of the most challenging times in their lives.
Last year CFH provided compassionate care to 41,976 individuals through our health centers and provided shelter, meals, and other services in our 5 shelters and safe haven to more than 750 adults needing a safe place to stay. Within these spaces, access to books offers more than entertainment – it creates an opportunity to escape from the daily challenges often faced by those experiencing homelessness. Whether it’s a child discovering a favorite story or an adult finding motivation and hope through reading, your generosity helps foster dignity, healing, and a sense of normalcy during uncertain times.
We look forward to continuing to work with NYBF in providing joy through reading, ensuring that the power of storytelling and knowledge remains accessible to everyone, regardless of circumstance. Thank you for being part of our community and for helping us care for our neighbors with compassion, dignity, and respect.

New York Book Forum is a nonprofit tax-exempt organization dedicated to building bridges between the entire book publishing world and the public with an emphasis on the importance of reading and promoting literacy. The Forum’s target membership extends beyond those who have worked in some capacity in the book world to include all who embrace and celebrate reading. It is our plan to hold regular in-person and virtual informational forums and facilitate educational opportunities that enhance book creation, production, and distribution across all formats. We envision these activities as helping to promote literacy. At New York Book Forum, reading comes into focus!
