THANKSGIVING

New York City NY

Description

One of New York City’s largest and most comprehensive social services agencies, BRC serves men and women who are homeless, or at risk of becoming so. We are committed to our mission to help the homeless of New York City and are always happy to hear from others who have the same passion and desire to make a difference. Each holiday season, we host several celebrations prior to the holiday, as well as on Thanksgiving itself, at multiple locations at various programs throughout Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the Bronx. Though positions are filling very rapidly, we do still have a few positions left. Please understand, once a time slot is filled, it will be closed to further assignments. At the moment, group activities are now booked to capacity. If interested, getting started as a volunteer is a simple one, though there is a process in place prior to obtaining any assignments. If you and all members of your party would please take a moment to complete our New Volunteer Registration form ( https://www.brc.org/volunteer-registration ) Please be sure to indicate your interest in the Thanksgiving holiday! Once your form has been received, you will receive the full list of all shifts available at that time, as well as an invitation to our next scheduled Thanksgiving specific orientation so you can learn more about BRC, what we do within the community and how you can help this holiday and year-round. Attendance is required; there are several to choose from. Please note: Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age or older. DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, ALL ONSITE VOLUNTEERS MUST ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING: - ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF VACCINATION PRIOR TO RECEIVING AN ASSIGNMENT - YOUR TEMPERATURE WILL BE TAKEN UPON ARRIVAL OF YOUR ASSIGNMENT - MASKS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES WHEN IN A BRC PROGRAM - SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES
