Back to School Giveaway
August 17, 2024
Thank you all so much for your incredible support in making our event a success! Whether you contributed items, funds, time, energy, or love, please know that it was deeply appreciated by the young people and their families in our community!
​
Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to provide school supplies, books, games, and even to-go dinners (complete with dessert!) for 98 kids. This amazing outcome wouldn’t have been possible without your kind hearts and dedication to the community. And here’s some exciting news – that number is about to go up! We’ve received a few late deliveries and last-minute donations, so we’ll be setting up a mini version of our store soon to extend the fun to more kids. If you'd like to help out, just respond to this email, and we'll keep you updated as we finalize the details.
​
A big shoutout to our community partners who came together with Nice Ninjas to make this happen: Advent NYC, Annunciation Church, and Trinity School.

Birthdays + Books +
Board Games
June 14, 2024
During the month of June, we collected books, board games, and toys to redistribute those gently used items to kids to get a jump start on their summer activities. ​Birthday Party Kits were also supplied by Piper Sandler and were given to each kid for the next family birthday or celebration. YAY!​This event was definitely a fan favorite for the guests and volunteers alike! Save the date for next year, tentatively scheduled for June 20.

National Random Act of Kindness Day
February 17, 2024
On February 17th, Nice Ninjas distributed Friendship Bracelets with notes of encouragement to kids visiting a food pantry on the Upper West Side. Leading up to 2/17, nearly 30 volunteers lovingly crafted almost 100 bracelets!!
​
Special Thanks to Girl Scout Troop 3209, Trinity School, Advent NYC & all my friends who made bracelets and wrote kind notes for our first friendship bracelet give-a-way event. You helped make this February 17th a little brighter for kids in our community.

Dear Santa
This past December, with support from many friends and family members, we were able to help out some parents and Santa Clause to get supply presents to some Neighbors. Together we helped 16 families have the Christmas they deserved!
​
Special Thanks to all the Nice Ninja Elves that helped:
Yadwa, Arden, Eve, Ching, G'ma Faye, Auntie Karima, Lily Beth, Rebecca, Emmet, Carl, Mimi, Lulu, Rhanda, Dan, Mary Ellen, Megan, Adrienne, Paul, and of course, my mom!
The Beginning...
Nice Ninjas was born out of a joke between my mom & I doing small acts of kindness in our neighborhood... lots of times without people really even knowing...we said "we moved like Ninjas" And that's how it all started...
​
THANKS to everyone who supported us when we were just get started and a special shout out to our neighbor Joe S who helped get the text added and the logo formatted all pro bono and out of the kindness of his heart. One of our very first Nice Ninjas!
