Get involved

Turn compassion into action.

However you choose to help, your support goes directly to children and families living in shelters in Queens, Long Island and Buffalo.

Volunteer

Our drives are powered by young people, and we’d love for you to join them.

  • Assemble hygiene kits, backpacks and holiday gifts
  • Serve at our Monthly Warm Meals Program in Queens
  • Help run giveaways, celebrations and seasonal events
  • Collect donations at your school, team or workplace

Students and teens are especially welcome. It’s a meaningful way to build leadership skills and give back.
