Other Opportunities

There are many ways to support NYCP all year!

Make Sandwiches

One of the easiest ways to volunteer is to make sandwiches during times when our kitchen is closed.

• Sandwiches can be any kind, but must be sealed individually (preferably in zip-lock bags).
• We can generally accept 1-200 sandwiches.
• Health and food safety standards require those preparing sandwiches wear gloves and hats or hairnets.

Please drop off sandwiches at the Help 365 service window during these times:

• Thursday, Friday, or Saturday: 9am – 6pm
• Sunday: 2pm – 6pm

Organize a School or Company Food Drive

NYCP distributes food to hungry New Yorkers all year long.  Your school, company, or religious organization can help by collecting food on a monthly basis. Below are suggested themes for monthly collections:
