Volunteering Untapped NYC: City Harvest (December Event)
Volunteering Untapped NYC is on a mission to build community through volunteering. We host events every month on the second Saturday and partner with local organizations around the city.
This month, we are partnering with City Harvest to pass out food at one of their Mobile Markets. City Harvest provides over three million pounds of fresh produce, free of charge, every year through these outdoor farmers market-style food distributions.
For this event, we ask that you sign up at least 2 weeks in advance, by both registering in Luma and clicking the below link and registering with City Harvest. Only volunteers that have done both will be considered signed up, as City Harvest will need to release any open spots to their wider volunteer base 2 weeks before to ensure that they have the needed day-of support. Due to limited slots, we ask that you only sign up once you know you will be available to arrive by 8:30AM and stay the whole shift.
The Registration process is as follows:
Follow the Sign-up Link and click "New User" to create a new volunteer profile and click "Submit" (repeat City Harvest volunteers can simply log in)
Read project details and click "Register" to confirm participation
You will then receive a confirmation email and a reminder one week before the project
Location: St. Mary's Mobile Market
Address: 595 Trinity Avenue Corner of Trinity Ave and Westchester Ave
Afterwards, we’ll head over to a local spot to socialize over food and drinks!
