Care for the Homeless is a 501(c)3 non-profit that operates 30 medical clinics in partnership with homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and drop-in locations throughout the city. We also operate a 200-bed, transitional residence for physically and mentally frail women in the Bronx, called Susan's Place.
Join our Health Education team as they organize and sort through in-kind donations to be used as incentives at future health and wellness workshops. Volunteers can expect to sort through new items such as: soap, lotion, toothpaste, and hair brushes into 'kits' for distribution at our family and singles partner locations.
Please be aware you will be doing light physical activity and should be comfortable being on your feet for the duration of this volunteer opportunity.

Mission Statement
Care For the Homeless fights homelessness by delivering high-quality and client-centered health care, human services and shelter to homeless individuals and families, and by advocating for policies to ameliorate, prevent and end homelessness.
Description
Care For the Homeless (CFH) serves 10,000 homeless men, women, and children annually and provides comprehensive health care at multiple sites co-located at soup kitchens, shelters, drop-in centers and street outreach programs in all 5 boroughs of NYC. Our service delivery model provides care where homeless individuals and families are receiving a variety of other services with the goal of reducing barriers to accessing high-quality health care. CFH also operates three transitional housing sites with on-site health care and is expanding shelter services in the future, ensuring a safe, supportive path to permanent housing.
In addition, CFH is committed to ending homelessness by conducting public education, research, and analysis of model programs and practices that create permanent housing opportunities, and by shaping policies to prevent future homelessness.
