Thanksgiving is less than a week away, and this year many of us have a lot to be thankful for. But many New Yorkers realize that some in our city have lost everything. Those who can want to help. Our holiday volunteer opportunities are updated frequently on our website. However, these projects are very popular every year and fill up quickly.

If our projects are full for Thanksgiving day, please check our referral opportunities page. These great organizations need help on Thanksgiving, as well as all year long. We are also continually updating our Hurricane Sandy relief page with new projects. Please bookmark this page as projects may become available for Thanksgiving day.

If you can’t volunteer this Thanksgiving, don’t worry. We have projects going on all year round and would love to have you volunteer! Getting started with us is simple. The first step is to create an account on our website. Once you’ve done that, you can register for an upcoming orientation that’s convenient for you. At orientation you’ll learn how we work, exciting projects you can join, and what you can expect as a volunteer. After orientation, you will be able to register for any of our available volunteer projects.

No matter when you volunteer, your help is needed. Thank you for helping New Yorkers in need this year.
