When City Harvest was founded in 1982, it was run entirely by volunteers who connected a handful of neighborhood restaurants to food programs serving those in need. Now, more than 35 years later, City Harvest volunteers remain a critical part of our food rescue operations. Whether you are a member of your company’s volunteer team at Mobile Markets, rescue fresh produce at our Green Market Rescues, or give your time to our partner food pantries and soup kitchens - your time and passion are important resources in the fight against hunger. We offer a wide variety of individual and group volunteer opportunities - including our Nutrition Education Program, Mobile Markets, Greenmarket Rescues, Corporate Repacks, Office Projects, and Food Drives. (Please note that some of these opportunities may be on hiatus because of COVID-19 safety concerns - please attend one of Volunteer Orientation for information on our current opportunities.) If you haven't volunteered with us before, please sign up for one of our New Volunteer Orientations held bi-monthly at our NYC office.

City Harvest supports a network of over 400 agencies across the five boroughs. Many of our community food programs have been forced to shut down due to the COVID-19 crisis, often because of a lack of volunteers or staff. At the same time, our community food programs that are operating have reported an increased need for food and resources as more New Yorkers are seeking out additional food for themselves and their families. City Harvest is working to provide our agencies with more volunteer resources so that we can continue to feed our fellow New Yorkers during this time. Volunteers at Agency Network Support shifts will assist with pantry organization, accepting deliveries, pre-bagging food items, distribution, line management, translation and more. Tasks will vary based on specific agency needs. We are partnering with 5 agencies in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx that are in high need of additional volunteer support. Weekday and Saturday shifts are available and range from 3 - 5 hours long. New volunteers are asked to complete an online orientation and agree to City Harvest's policies before participating. Email volunteerservices@cityharvest.org to learn more and get started!
