Housing Works Bookstore and Café is an entrepreneurial arm of Housing Works, a New York non-profit whose mission is to end the dual crises of homelessness and AIDS through relentless advocacy, the provision of lifesaving services, and entrepreneurial businesses that sustain our efforts. All of the books we sell are donated by members of the community, and a majority of the people that work in the bookstore are volunteers. You can find out more about Housing Works' mission, services, and advocacy by visiting our website: http://www.housingworks.org/.
As the official charity partner of Book Expo America, we need volunteer support to collect and pack donations following the event. Historically, we have received large quantities of books from the publishers that attend the event and would really appreciate the help of local volunteers! This is a great opportunity for those interested in the literary work and HIV/AIDS advocacy.
We currently need volunteers to help us pack and move donations of books on June 2nd from 5 pm to 8 pm. Groups are preferred. Please note that there will be some medium lifting.

Mission Statement
Housing Works is a healing community of people living with and affected by HIV & AIDS. Our goal is to end the dual crises of homelessness and AIDS through relentless advocacy, the provision of lifesaving services, and entrepreneurial businesses that sustain our efforts.
Description
Housing Works is powered by a vibrant community of volunteers who lend their time, dedication, and passion to many different roles within our social enterprise department, Bookstore Cafe, and Thrift Shops.
Individuals and groups of volunteers assist our organization greatly, by coming together to better the communities that they live and work in. Housing Works is pleased to partner with corporations, universities, and community based groups, in the creation and implementation of volunteer projects that benefit homeless men and women living with HIV & AIDS. We are one of New York City’s largest and most successful support services for those in these under served communities, and becoming a part of the Housing Work’s family is an exciting way for companies to give back.
Each project challenges volunteers to develop new skills and engage new people, contributing to a greater sense of camaraderie. We welcome the opportunity to work with corporations to find volunteer opportunities that meet their needs and priorities. Volunteering with Housing Works is a great way for companies to engage employees while demonstrating their commitment to the fight against homelessness and AIDS, and the improvement of the lives of all at-risk New Yorkers.
