Volunteer to move prayer systems.  Love volunteering. A lifetime is wedding of volunteering and love.  Volunteer for a physician, if qualified. Public health organizations need volunteers.   Are the masks a security risk?  Seasonal volunteering. Mayor de Blasio announced that these   honored by awards of $10,000.   July 16, 2020 is the day this announcement was shared. Keys to success are learned as a volunteer for an enterprise to network to promote your business, help people live to flourish, and to meet new everlasting friends. Volunteer to dance. I love dancing with men and my mom! 

“Community-based organizations and volunteers are playing an essential role in keeping communities strong through the COVID-19 crisis,” said Anusha Venkataraman, NYC Chief Service Officer. “NYC Service is honored to award Civic Impact Funding to grow each organization’s capacity to engage community members as volunteers and reach more New Yorkers in need.”  

 

One non-profit organization named, Bangladeshi American Community Development and Youth Services.

“The NYC Civic Impact Fund helped us mobilize five volunteers to support BACDYS ongoing weekly Halal Food Distribution program funded through New York Community Trust and additional support from Brooklyn Community Foundation. The ten week long weekly program focused on the most vulnerable Muslim households, which lost income due to COVID-19, and were in dire need for culturally appropriate food support as most of the food support the community in the area is not Halal.  The support of five volunteers helped us greatly to improve the quality of service,” said Rajju Malla Dhakal, Executive Director of Bangladeshi American Community Development and Youth Services.

 

 

“As a provider of programs for low-income seniors ages 70-100+ at Chung Pak LDC supported by City Council Member Margaret Chin, ISS had the opportunity to provide volunteer support for an emergency food response project initiated by UA3 that was located on-site at Chung Pak during the COVID lockdown. The NYC Civic Impact Award enabled us to improve the robustness of our organization’s volunteer program, while putting into practice our approach to community work with volunteers that provided them with a dynamic understanding of immigrant neighborhoods in the city. It was heartening to see volunteers from across the city, as well as those with roots in Chinatown/Lower East Side,” said Beatrice Chen, Executive Director, Immigrant Social Services (ISS), “who will be helping to respond to the increasing need for masks to protect our vulnerable populations.”

Volunteer Coordination Task Force partners NYC Emergency Management and New York Cares, offering no-cost volunteer management trainings for managing volunteers in a crisis.

“Community-based organizations have been the heartbeat of our COVID-19 response and a lifeline to many communities.  Just recently, I spent time with volunteers at the Bed-Stuy Campaign Against Hunger warehouse, helping to pack food to be delivered to a pantry in one of our vulnerable neighborhoods,” said NYC Emergency Management Commissioner Deanne Criswell. “ Whether Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), NYC Service, or New York Cares, volunteers are a vital resource, and their commitment and dedication exemplify the true spirit of New Yorkers and express the resiliency of our communities to band together to help others who need it the most.”
