New Yorkers are a generous lot when it comes to volunteering their time in the service of others. The Coalition helps facilitate volunteerism by matching volunteers with emergency food programs in need. In addition to direct service (e.g., serving food or providing manual labor), the Coalition emphasizes long-term professional service that can often be more useful to a kitchen or pantry. For qualified professional volunteers, three hours of financial or technological assistance can be worth three months of passing out soup.

If you are interested in volunteering your time or expertise for a New York City food pantry or soup kitchen, Volunteer Matching, the New York City Coalition Against Hunger's interactive volunteer matching system, will match you with the right volunteer opportunity.
