    Process Book Donations at the Housing Works Bookstore!

    For over 25 years Housing Works has been providing lifesaving services to New Yorkers living with and affected by HIV/AIDS and homelessness.

    Housing Works' services include housing, mental and physical healthcare, job training, legal counseling, and advocacy - more than 30,000 homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with and affected by HIV/AIDS have been provided with a comprehensive array of services since 1990.

    To help fund these efforts, Housing Works operates a variety of entrepreneurial businesses including our Housing Works Bookstore & Café.

    We need volunteers to assist our staff process book donations throughout the months of May and June!

    The Housing Works Online Bookstore & Book Donation Center, located just one level down from the Bookstore on Crosby Street, has a massive inventory of books that we scan, pack and sell via our online partners to generate revenue and benefit the organization.

    We have an urgent need for volunteers to assist us with unpacking boxes and scanning books into our system. This is a very simple, automated process. All participating volunteers are trained in this process on-site.

    What are the benefits of volunteering?

    • Our selfless volunteers receive a 25% discount on purchases in our shops & bookstore,
    • Flexible, manageable schedules for our Volunteers
    • A well-managed experience & a valued place on our volunteer team,

    Want to speak with us about the volunteer role and other opportunities to help? Follow the link below to our Information Session Calendar and book a 20-minute conversation with our Volunteer Coordinator.
