For Groups

As a United Way Anchor Agency, we offer Days of Caring group volunteer opportunities in May/June and Oct/Nov, specifically geared to United Way supporters. If you’re interested in a volunteer event with us at NYCH, please connect with us or your United Way representative.

Looking for an engaging corporate/group volunteering or team building activity? Why not make a difference through our NYCH KITS FOR A CAUSE PROGRAM. Help assemble “care kits” for individuals in our community. This program was developed specifically to accommodate groups of all sizes, whether you're volunteering with friends, family, colleagues, or on your own, from groups of 5 to 5,000, your contribution directly impacts our community.

For more information, email info@kitsforacause.com or fill out the inquiry form. And the team will guide you through the process and ensure a seamless experience.

Have other ideas? We’re always happy to chat with local community groups and businesses who want to support and learn more about the work that we do.
