New York Cares
New York Cares is New York City’s largest volunteer organization. New York Cares runs volunteer programs for more than 1,300 nonprofits, public schools, and city agencies to help people in need throughout the five boroughs. Since 1987, New York Cares has made it easy for all New Yorkers to work together to strengthen the city. New York Cares’ 64,000 volunteers are hard at work 365 days a year, teaching children the joy of reading, helping low-income students get into college, delivering job training to unemployed men and women, providing companionship to elderly nursing home residents, revitalizing public parks and schools, serving meals to homeless and housebound people, donating coats, and more. Last year, New York Cares volunteers helped 400,000 of their neighbors in need.
