Volunteer

Volunteers are critical to our work year-round.

Your passion and time are important resources as we work to rescue and deliver food for New Yorkers in need. City Harvest offers a variety of volunteer opportunities in New York City, including participating in food rescue and distribution, providing nutrition education to people of all ages, supporting advocacy campaigns that fight hunger and build a more equitable and sustainable food system, and more.

First-time volunteers must attend a virtual orientation before volunteering.
