Working initially as United Spinal’s Recreation Coordinator, he rose rapidly through the ranks reaching the title of Director of Sports Marketing. In October of 2006, Victor joined the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation as their ADA Coordinator overseeing accessibility projects throughout the five boroughs.

The parks system is a historic collection of properties, most of which were designed and built prior to accessibility laws. He coordinated with staff at all levels, improving compliance with the law while producing a transition plan to increase access in the city’s parks, beaches, recreation centers and other facilities.

In June 2012, Victor was appointed the Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and then reappointed by Mayor Bill De Blasio in 2014.

He advises the Mayor on issues affecting over 900,000 New Yorkers with a Disability and 6 million visitors with a disability. He is the liaison between the disabled community and City government, works to connect with the services they need and is the disability policy advisor to City agencies and the Administration. He spearheads myriad projects, partnerships and initiatives that better the lives of people with disabilities; advocates for the passage of legislation to help the disabled community; and is the Chair of NYC Building Code Accessibility Committee.

Victor, his wife and their two children are native New Yorkers.

Paul: 10 million seniors will go hungry on Thanksgiving. We need your help to reach them.

Will you be a hero for hungry seniors today?

Make your generous gift of $16 or whatever you can afford now >>

Yet that’s all some seniors will eat next Thursday.

While we’re feasting on dinner with family and friends, more than 10 million seniors will be struggling just to make it through the day.

That’s the appalling state of senior hunger in America — and it’s time we did something about it.

Make a charitable gift of $16 or whatever you can afford to fight senior hunger before Thanksgiving.

Paul, sometimes I wish I could pretend that senior hunger was a myth, that the reports were wrong. But the fact is that this tragedy is unfolding right here in America — today. Already, more than 10 million older Americans are facing hunger, and more are at risk.

These hungry seniors are our neighbors, people we pass on the street or say hi to at the post office. They’re in every community across the country, suffering silently just to get enough food to make it through the day.

It’s heartbreaking — but together, we can help. Already this year, we’ve delivered more than 4 million meals through community meal pack events across the country, including a record-breaking two-day meal pack challenge in Washington, D.C. We piloted new, innovative solutions to senior food insecurity with the rollout of Grocery Guides programs that help older Americans make healthy, affordable choices in their local stores. And we’ve helped low-income seniors make healthy choices through our Fresh Savings program, which makes fresh fruits and vegetables more affordable for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients. We’ve stood together to raise awareness about this problem — and committed to working together to solve it.

Help us raise $200,000 to fight senior hunger — every dollar makes a difference >>

I hope you’ll consider making a voluntary, charitable contribution to AARP Foundation, AARP’s charitable affiliate. For hungry seniors who have nowhere else to turn, your support can be a beacon of hope. Thanks in advance for standing with us this holiday season.

Another year has flown by and the holiday season has arrived!

For Thanksgiving 2015, we are on a mission to distribute over 10,000 turkeys throughout the NYC area in our annual St. Francis Food Pantries and Shelters’ Turkey Drive (#StFFPturkeydrive).**

The recipients of these turkeys are families, including many seniors and children, who may otherwise go without.

With your support, we can lighten the load of families in need this holiday season. So, instead of worrying about their next meal our clients can focus on what is truly important – togetherness.

Please consider Making a Turkey Donation ** to lend a helping hand and “Put a Turkey on the Table” this season.

Thank You and God Bless,

Father Francis
St. Francis Food Pantries and Shelters

**Remember: Even if you are unable to make a donation, you can still support our Thanksgiving Turkey goal by spreading the word! Use the hashtag #StFFPturkeydrive and help us to help others!

Comprised of young professionals in the New York City Area, the Junior Society supports the mission, vision and values of New York City Mission Society through hands-on outreach, innovative networking and unique fundraising opportunities. As the next generation of philanthropists, including Melissa Berkelhammer, Brooke Laing, Antonella Lemos, Cole Rumbough, and Liz Shafiroff, they support the New York City Mission Society’s goal to improve the lives of children, youth, and families in the city’s most underserved communities.Deeply devoted to the cause, Jean Shafiroff will serve as the honoree for their upcoming benefit gala on Wednesday, March 12, 2013.

With the toy drive event, this year sponsored in part by MarieBelle New York, Baked by Melissa, Insomnia Cookies, Bonito Mezcal, and Früzen Ice, guests had the opportunity to support the toy drive while holiday shopping, as 20-percent of each purchase made was donated to New York City Mission Society.

Joining the Junior Society in support of their annual toy drive were Martin Shafiroff, Roy Kean, Maggie Norris, and Stanley and Leah Rumbough, and many more.

Guests dressed in festive seasonal attire enjoyed holiday cocktails, cookies, chocolate, and cupcakes, while shopping and playing with the many interactive toys of pilotage, ranging from electronic helicopters, airplanes, and cars.

Serving both fun-seekers and enthusiasts across New York, Pilotage Fun & Hobby provides clients with a wide selection of affordable and enjoyable radio control model airplanes, helicopters, cars and boats, games and gadgets.

Pilotage Fun & Hobby opened its doors in March 2012, under the watchful eye of Managing Director William Dickey, who envisioned a destination that offers entertaining, innovative, and most importantly, interactive products to satisfy the needs and stimulate the minds of consumers with discriminating tastes, from knowledge-seeking school kids to city dwellers and parents seeking more sophisticated outdoor activities to share with their children. Pilotage Fun & Hobby aims to introduce a more engaging, gratifying and traditional – though rapidly evolving – form of recreation to a younger generation that is overwhelmed by digital entertainment.

The NYC Mission Society will be accepting donations throughout the entire holiday season, and can be made online at: www.nycharities.org.

I just wanted to tell you about the St. Pat’s Angels food drive. They have already collected over 1,500 items for Bread of Life in Oceanside! Last month the facility almost ran out of food for those in need, but should now have plenty of food for the Thanksgiving holiday. The St. Pat’s Angels program is really taking off like wildfire and the kids are getting excited about community service.

Thanks,
Sarah Hayes
