If you enjoy spending quality time with seniors, this opportunity is your you! Redwood Senior Living is home to low-income and formerly street-homeless seniors, who truly enjoy when volunteers come to visit. We’re looking for a grill master and servers to help us put on our End of Summer BBQ, while participating in fun and games. Come enjoy our company.
Breaking Ground works tirelessly to serve New York’s most vulnerable population: the homeless, and those in danger of becoming homeless. Our street-to-home teams are out every day, working to bring the street-homeless indoors, but just as important to the people we serve, is seeing them on the path to rebuilding their lives. With the help of volunteers like you, we build community around our residents by putting on events, encouraging them to branch out and come together as neighbors. Here’s what you’ll need to know:

Mission Statement
Breaking Ground’s mission is to strengthen individuals, families and communities by developing and sustaining exceptional supportive and affordable housing as well as programs for homeless and other vulnerable New Yorkers.
Description
At Breaking Ground, we believe that everyone deserves a home.
That’s why, since 1990, we have been providing permanent affordable housing for individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Beginning with a single building, we are now New York City’s largest provider of supportive housing. We own and/or operate 24 properties with over 3,530 apartments in New York City and beyond.
- For chronically homeless people, we create safe, secure housing with essential on-site support services to help them address the psychosocial, mental, and physical health problems that are obstacles to independent living.
- For those at risk of homelessness, our affordable housing provides an all-important safety net.
Our work has enabled more than 13,000 people to overcome or avoid homelessness since 1990, and we increase that number every single day. At the start of 2016, we have nearly 1,000 units of housing in various stages of development in the Bronx and Brooklyn, and are significantly expanding our Street to Home homelessness outreach program so that we can offer help to every single homeless person we meet.
