Visit our online training to be fully prepared for a day of outreach: https://cityrelief.teachable.com/p/new-volunteer-training.
Volunteers will meet at The Good Shepherd Mission, 336 Broadway, Paterson, NJ. Do NOT park in the Good Shepherd Mission parking lot as our Outreach vehicle uses the parking lot for outreach set up. Street parking is available on Broadway. Carpooling is highly recommended for the Paterson Outreach.
Volunteers will join together with City Relief staff and our community partners to throw a block party and create a welcoming environment!
Volunteers assist with a variety of activities such as
Setting up tables, chairs, and tents on the street.
Pass out soup, bread, & beverages, and offer socks (& more!) to visitors at outreach.
Maintain a high level of cleanliness at and around the outreach.
Travel in teams around the nearby area to invite guests to the outreach.
Assist with site clean-up and breakdown of tables, chairs, and tents.
Volunteers are encouraged to personally interact, through conversation, a shared meal, and even prayer with the people we serve. As a volunteer, you will help connect guests to City Relief staff for a Life Care Visit; a conversation where hope and tailored resources are offered.
We look forward to seeing you at City Relief!
*Please note that all City Relief outreaches take place outside rain or shine.

Mission Statement
City Relief is a mobile outreach offering people experiencing poverty and homelessness hot meals, supplies, and connections to resources for housing, employment, and health care. These connections change people’s lives. Our Approach: Visiting the same eight locations weekly, we provide a safe place to welcome our guests, share a meal, and discuss solutions to issues they may be facing.
Description
History
In 1989, City Relief was founded in New York City by Richard + Dixie Galloway. For over 34 years, we've helped transform the lives of those experiencing homelessness & poverty. Today, we foster inclusive communities and create a network of care to assist people as they rebuild their lives.
Impact
In 2022 we served 61,187 Guests by providing 47,686 Meals, and 4,320 Personalized Action Plans, alongside our amazing Volunteers who served 9,891 hours with City Relief!
We mobilize over 2,000 volunteers a year - and whether it's your first time or your hundredth time, you have something unique to bring to the table. Volunteers transform lives, and in the process are transformed themselves. Our volunteers are beacons of hope and connection to hurting and isolated people.
