Be In-Kind
Be In-Kind consists of three donation-focused initiatives that engage partners to provide in-kind resources to city agencies that serve low-income and/or poverty-affected clients. Be In-Kind inspires and empowers companies to give back by “being kind.”
We’re seeking new corporate partners for all our initiatives. Interested companies can contact beinkind@cityhall.nyc.gov.
Ways to give back

Care Kits is an initiative that engages employees to collect and package items into kits given to New York City's vulnerable populations. These kits will include the essentials such as shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc., to offer individuals in challenging circumstances basic necessities in a reusable bag.
NYC Service can work with you at any point identify an organization to donate to and organize a Care Kits drive and packing session. We ask for 4-6 week notice to ensure that we can be available at your event and provide you with the appropriate support.
