(JCC) Whitney Chapman, June 10, 2017 — Starting Monday June 5, JCC Manhattan, in collaboration with the Synagogue Coalition on the Refugee and Immigration Crisis and City Council Members Helen Rosenthal and Mark Levine, will be hosting a pop-up enrollment site for obtaining IDNYC cards. Registration will take place this and next week from 10 am to 6 pm in the Membership Office lounge.

The card is a government-issued photo identification. IDNYC benefits every city resident, including those belonging to the most vulnerable communities–the homeless, undocumented immigrants, and others who may have difficulty obtaining other government-issued IDs. The card provides access to a variety of city services, free one-year memberships to many NYC museums, as well as discounts on CitiBike, Broadway tickets, and more.

Any NYC resident 14 or older can apply for the card by presenting proof of NYC residency and identity. Appointments are recommended and can be made by visiting www.nyc.gov/idnyc  or calling 311. When booking online, select “make an appointment” and enter your contact information and preferred appointment time. The website will then provide you with a list of location options (click Manhattan–JCC is the last item on the menu–then “search” for available times). We encourage all who are eligible in our community to take advantage of this opportunity and book a registration appointment today!
