During these uncertain times, how can we help?
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
OVERVIEW
Our Sirovich Center has continued its support of NYC’s Older Adult community through virtual programming during the pandemic. As social distancing restrictions lessen, Sirovich is reopening its food pantry that occurs weekly. We are looking for volunteers to help support the food pantry that occurs each Wednesday 12pm- 4pm. Volunteers will assist in unloading, organizing, packaging, and distributing food packages to Older Adult members that come to Sirovich for the food pantry.
This is an in-person volunteering opportunity, and we want you to know that many precautions are in place. The facility is sanitized, social distancing is maintained, and PPE supplies are available for those that need it. Additionally, Sirovich will temperature check individuals coming to the site. If you are well and able, you will be providing valuable support to the Sirovich Center during this challenging time.

We are a new hub for the Lower East Side, a cultural and community center that is committed to bringing together our vibrant and diverse neighborhood. Our newly-renovated space offers award-winning programs, critical services and exciting events for toddlers, teens, young adults, and older adults of all backgrounds.
Our commitment to the diversity of the Lower East Side is reflected in our programming: Head Start classrooms sit alongside our private preschool; the Weinberg Center for Balanced Living creates community for older adults of all backgrounds and abilities; our fitness center is utilized by neighborhood residents of all ethnicities, income levels, and ages through an innovative tiered membership model. The Educational Alliance Art School uses the study and mastery of fine arts to forge connections between students and master teachers. Afterschool programs serve community needs for recreation, fitness, education, and college preparation. Community and cultural programming invites deep conversation and calls to action.
The Manny Cantor Center is the flagship building of Educational Alliance, a community-based organization offering a wide range of programs that integrate education, social services, arts and recreation throughout the Lower East Side and East Village. Created to assist Eastern European Jews immigrating to NYC, it has been serving the area since 1889. Educational Alliance has grown and changed as the Lower East Side has; now serving the diverse population that currently resides here.
We'll work with your schedule.
