Cardinal Timothy Dolan and around 200 others moved through the aisles of Old Navy in Manhattan, shopping for hundreds of strangers on Saturday as part of St. Nicholas Project Shopping Day, a program run by Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York.

Catholic Charities each year raises money, topping $70,000 this year, to spend in one day of serious shopping, where volunteers are given information about recipients to buy winter clothing for individuals and families.
