Happy Holidays from GroupMe!

Whether you’re spending this holiday season at home with family or halfway across the world, GroupMe is here to help you stay in touch with the people who really matter to you. 

Last month, you may remember that we launched a Thanksgiving featured group designed to help us give back to our community. With your help, we were able to give thousands of dollars to help feed families in need in our hometown of New York City. 

We were so happy with the last time that we’re bringing it back for this holiday season. For each new group created on our special Happy Holidays page or in the Featured tab on your GroupMe app between now and New Year’s Day, we’ll donate $1 to the Food Bank For New York City, for up to 2,000 groups.  For every $1 donated 5 meals can be provided to New Yorkers in need.  With your help, we’ll feed thousands of hungry families in New York this winter.

Try starting a group there now and adding the people you’ll be seeing this holiday season. Whether you’re headed home to visit with family or hosting some friends where you live, you’ll all be able to stay in touch easier than ever before. Coordinate flight arrivals, chat about weather reports, and plan who’s bringing what to your celebrations. It’s easier than ever!

If you’ll be far from the ones you love, a group is the perfect way to stay in touch from all over the world. Share photos and stories from past holidays, or count down to the New Year together from opposite coasts—in real time. You’ll feel like you’re close together, no matter how far apart you are.

But no matter what you talk about, you’ll be helping people in need. Start your group right now on our Happy Holidays page or in the Featured tab on your GroupMe app.

From all of us at GroupMe, happy holidays!
