Helping our team of drivers deliver meals is our greatest volunteer need. We deliver to all 5 boroughs and parts of New Jersey, so this is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to see more of New York, meet and interact directly with our clients—and sometimes, get a great workout! Some routes hit 60 doors in a shift. We prefer that you stick it out for the full route, but some volunteers do half a shift, if their schedule requires. 

Shifts available throughout the day and evening—sign up here or email us to learn more.
With over 26,000 meals delivered each week, the kitchen staff relies on volunteers to help prepare this massive quantity of food. Tasks may include packaging meals, chopping onions, ladling soup, peeling potatoes or making meatballs. Volunteers can also package meal bundles for clients and assemble children's meal kits.

Around lunchtime in many neighborhoods. Sign up here or contact us for more information.
Walking deliveries are a great opportunity for anyone who can spare a lunch hour. We have many Neighborhood Meal Distribution Centers (NMDCs) throughout New York City. Volunteers pick up meals and deliver them on foot to client homes in the surrounding neighborhood. Deliveries must be made anytime between the hours of 10:00am and 2:30pm; each shift is typically 1-1.5 hours. To see if there's a NMDC near your home or office, click here for a list of our centers.

Daytime shift times vary based on project and department. Sign up here, or contact us for more information.

Our Communications Department is seeking volunteers to assist with the creation of graphic designs, advertisements, videos, PSA's, etc. Dreamweaver, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop experience is a plus. These opportunities are on a case-by-case basis but ideally the volunteer is available to speak briefly during business hours, with the option of speaking after 5pm. Each volunteer may have approximately 1-2 projects per month. Contact Emmett Findley for additional information.
