Volunteers working together in the community

Get involved

Show up for your neighbors.

Homeward Bound NYC runs on the energy of people who care. Whether you want to volunteer on the streets, raise funds, or partner with us — there's a place for you here.

Volunteer

Our volunteers go out daily to bring emergency meals to homeless New Yorkers living in the subways and on the streets. No experience needed — just a willingness to show up and connect with your community.

Fundraise

Emergency meals are just the start. To build job training, housing support, and long-term programs, we need funding — and we need people passionate enough to help us raise it. As a volunteer fundraiser, you'll help us reach donors, organize events, and grow our community of supporters.

Partner with us

We don't have our own facilities yet — and we're actively seeking partners who share our mission. If your organization has space, resources, or a network we can work alongside, we'd love to connect.
