Here at Met Council, volunteerism is a fundamental component of our mission as is serving our client base. We engage more than 1,700 volunteers annually who assist in supporting communities in need across the greater New York City area. Our vision is to expand our network of volunteers, particularly individuals that are equipped with specific skill sets who can provide ongoing critical support to our clients and staff.
We provide a broad range of opportunities for volunteers to demonstrate their unique abilities. Some include assisting clients with digital food ordering, stocking, organizing, and conducting inventory in our pantries, packaging and delivering food, creating special care kits for our most vulnerable clients, hosting socialization events for seniors and other populations in need, and more. It is through the aid of our dedicated volunteers that Met Council’s capacity to provide full comprehensive support is possible.
