Giving Tuesday: Embracing the Spirit at The Leo House

As the festive season unfolds and the spirit of giving takes center stage, we reflect on Giving Tuesday. The generous donations and reservations made by our supporters keep us going and have a profound impact on our organization. The Leo House has surpassed some very tough times, including 9/11, recessions, and the Covid pandemic. We humbly recognize that we wouldn’t have survived these tough times without the generosity and support shown by our global community.

On this Giving Tuesday 2023, if you are able to make a contribution to our charitable efforts by donating to The Leo House we would be so grateful. The Leo House is a 501(c)(3) Catholic Agency in good standing, exemption number GEN 0928. We are a non-profit and charitable organization that uses donations to offer discounted rates to first responders, people visiting sick family members at New York City hospitals, as well as to provide discounted lodging for Sisters or Clergy. We also use donations to keep our rates as low as possible for you. See below on ways you can donate and embrace the spirit of Giving Tuesday.

We invite you to make a donation to The Leo House by mailing a donation by check directly to the following address:
