As the world leader in volunteerism we feel a responsibility to unite our broader community, and to use this moment to become stronger.
See below to participate in our Impact Sector survey, access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
In an effort to ensure the continued health and safety of those homeless men and women we serve, we have started providing pre-packaged meal delivery to our residents that have temporarily been displaced due to the current COVID 19 crisis. In order to keep up with our other food service obligations, we occasionally seek assistance in the prepping and packaging process. Please note, all volunteers must wash hands frequently throughout their shift, and wear gloves and masks at all times.
This will take place at our 85 Lexington Avenue location in Brooklyn. Due to space and social distancing requirements, spots are limited. Available shifts are Monday through Friday:
12pm to 4pm preferred OR you may split the shift to:
12pm to 2pm
2pm to 4pm
If you are interested in lending a hand with this effort, please reach out for more details.
Please note: Any/all potential volunteers must complete a New Volunteer Registration form, which can be found at the following link: http://www.brc.org/volunteer-registration . Once received, you will then be sent an invitation to participate in an orientation via Zoom.

Mission Statement
Helping people reclaim lives lost: We restore hope and dignity by offering opportunities for health and self-sufficiency.
Description
BRC: Helping People to Reclaim Lives Lost . BRC is a leading provider of housing and services to thousands of New York City's neediest individuals. Offering a hand up, not a hand out, BRC asks one simple question: What can we do for you? BRC sees the potential in each individual it serves, and provides each the opportunity to find it. Whatever our clients may seek, BRC has it, 24/7/365: outreach to homeless people living in public spaces, drug treatment, mental health care, comprehensive medical services, vocational services, and supportive communities in which to live. BRC succeeds by building trust with the people we serve; listening, and then acting, providing housing - both temporary and permanent. Building trust takes time, and a compassionate, dedicated staff of almost 1,000 employees and 1,000+ volunteers that persevere 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, never giving up.
