Click here for the latest volunteer information.We will be transporting volunteers and supplies from St Jacobi Church in Sunset Parkto impacted areas throughout the day. We prefer that new volunteers come to Sunset Park if possible so that we can route you to the locations with the greatest need, rather than going directly to one of the volunteer sites.To catch a ride to Sunset Park, vehicles will be leaving from the following Brooklyn locations at 10am and 1pm. Please arrive a little before the hour as cars will be leaving on time!Willimsburg: 306 Leonard at Metropolitan – (please wait outside)

* Church of St. Luke and St. Matthew and St. Jacobi Church are our primary training and distribution centers. It is important that new volunteers come to one of these two locations first if at all possible. Of course, if you can’t make it to one of these but can make it to one of the other locations you should go there, but please make every effort to come to one of the main distributions centers first.
