Meet Our Humanitarian Members & Volunteers!
 Over the fifteen years that H.A.D. has been in existence, we have had humanitarian volunteers and members working with our humanitarian projects, such as feeding homeless people, conducting domestic violence classes, working with people with disabilities, eg. lupus, AIDS ... working with youths on educational and sports programs, and working with H.A.D.'s all-star charity fashion and entertainment shows. Below are just a few testimonies from some of the members H.A.D. has had over the years.

Our organization exists because of the generosity of caring, God-loving people who work together as a team to make a difference in the community. Had it not been for these humanitarians, H.A.D. of N.Y.C. would never have survived for the 17 years it has been in existence. 75% of all monies received via donations and charity functions go directly into a special fund that is used for the sole purpose of providing aid to those who need it most.
