For Volunteers
NYC Service has centralized volunteer opportunities to support local nonprofits with meal distribution. Volunteers are needed to serve, deliver, or pack meals, or support pantry and kitchen operations, such as client support, inventory, unloading or shelving products, and general support.

For Organizations
Many New Yorkers are willing to support the network of food access organizations. If your organization is in need of in-kind donations or volunteers for meal distribution, pantry or kitchen operations, or client services, register now on nyc.gov/service and NYC Service will support your recruitment efforts.
Creating In-kind Donation Lists
- Organizations registered on the NYC Service website can create lists of items needed for programs supported by volunteers.
- Requests can include non-cash items such as food, clothing, hygiene products, re-usable items, equipment, or other supplies. In-Kind Lists may not include cash, weapons, bills, gift-cards, or weapons of any kind.
- Organizations are responsible for any documentation needed by the volunteer donor.
- All in-kind donation requests are reviewed and approved before becoming publicly available.
- Requests will not be approved if no item information is added.
