Do you care about food justice and making sure food insecurity is a thing of the past?
M ore than 1.2 Million New Yorkers face hunger every year, including close to 1 in 5 in NYC being children.
Episcopal Charities is working to reduce that number by supporting feeding programs across New York City. According to City Harvest, food pantries and soup kitchens have steadily seen there numbers grow in the past 5 years. Because of this, valuable programs helping to alleviate these issues need dedicated volunteers! At Episcopal Charities we are here to match you with one of our community partners that provides a feeding program.
We work with multiple feeding programs (food pantries and soup kitchens) throughout the Bronx, Manhattan and Westchester. Each of these program operate at different times, making it convenient for us to help find you the perfect match for an impassioned program in your geography at a time convenient for you! The programs we work with also need volunteers with a variety of talents. We are looking for folks who enjoy serving food, prepping and cooking food, interacting with guests, but also people who could be consultants to the program to help streamline different programs efficiency and provide administrative skills, helping out with events, and other "behind the scenes" duties.
If you are interested in volunteering with one of our community partners, please respond through volunteer match or email us at ecvolunteers@dioceseny.org with your ideal preference for geography and date/time! We are looking forward to working with you to help fight hunger!

Mission Statement
EPISCOPAL CHARITIES: AN OVERVIEW The mission of Episcopal Charities embraces a wide range of activities that promote and support the community service programs operated and supported by Episcopal congregations in the Episcopal Diocese of New York. Episcopal Charities provides three basic services: Grantmaking, Educational Development, and Fund Development, representing a coordinated approach to support for congregations that wish to operate or sponsor programs serving people in their communities.
Description
GRANTMAKING The Episcopal Charities grants program includes two annual cycles: Grants for Basic Human Needs, providing support for a wide range of programs, and the Keystone Partnership for Youth, targeting funds for programs serving young people. The recipients of program funds are listed elsewhere, as are the guidelines for applying for grant funds EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT Each year Episcopal Charities offers a range of educational and training opportunities to all outreach programs in the Diocese, whether or not they receive an Episcopal Charities grant. These opportunities take advantage of two resources; the accumulated wisdom and experience of program leaders and professionals throughout programs in the Diocese, brought together to share their knowledge with colleagues in similar programs, and experts in program and service areas supported by Episcopal Charities. FUND DEVELOPMENT The fund development activities of Episcopal Charities generate all the funds used in its grantmaking program and more than 80% of its total annual revenue. With a small administrative staff and an actively engaged board of directors, Episcopal Charities is able to directly allocate more than 85% of funds raised publicly to program activities, a figure considerably higher than industry standards.
