Volunteer
Interested in helping to feed hungry people? We want to make volunteering as simple and easy as possible. At least for now, we do not need you to email or call us to let us know that you want to volunteer. You can just show up!
Volunteers are always needed on Wednesdays and Thursdays. You can come when you can and stay as long as you like. There is no need to email or call to tell us you are coming, just show up and you will be put to work. The times listed are approximate, and you do not have to arrive at the beginning of them or stay throughout the entire time.
* Wednesdays volunteers are needed to: cook the meal (from 2-5:30), set up the dining room (3-5pm), serve the meal (6-7pm) and clean up (6-8pm). We also need people on Wednesday evenings from 6-9pm to help prepare bags of food for the food pantry.
* Thursdays volunteers are needed to set up (9am-10am), distribute food (10am-5pm), and clean up (3-6pm).
There are also looking for people who can commit to helping with specific ongoing tasks each week. If you are interested, please email cyoo@nyccah.org or call 201-282-1568 if you might be interested.
* Mondays one person is needed to distribute bag lunches from 1-2pm.
* Tuesdays one or two people are needed to help clean and prep the kitchen for the next day’s community dinner. This can be done after work in the evening.
* Sundays one or two people are needed to ensure that the recycling and garbage are put out properly. This can happen any time after 5pm.
We also need volunteers who have specific skills:
* Electrical, plumbing or general contracting
* Graphic design and/or web design
* Grants research and writing
* Organizing fundraising events
