    Group Volunteering at Housing Works

    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.

    Does this sound like something you'd like your teams to get involved with? Housing Works has volunteer opportunities for groups of all sizes at our shops, events, and offices. We welcome matching donations from corporations as well! Express your interest by completing the form linked below.

    Housing Works Group Volunteer Form: https://housingworks.tfaforms.net/358810

    Our volunteer groups have a great impact on shop operations in many ways:

    • Group Projects: When we arrange a volunteer day for your group of dedicated volunteers, our staff will prepare a list of tasks for your volunteer group participants to engage with around our shops.
    • Special Events: At our fundraising events, our volunteer groups are truly valued for how much they can contribute with our Special Events. Our volunteers are an immense help with supporting our staff during the events and with setting up for them.

    Upcoming Events:

    Bride on a Buck 2025: This one-of-a-kind annual shopping event offers brides-to-be the opportunity to shop new and gently used wedding dresses and accessories at deeply discounted prices.

    Bride on a Buck Sign-Up Page: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090F48ACAA2AA7F58-55880199-bride#/

    We are calling on our volunteers to assist with setting up Bride on a Buck on June 6th and with the event day on June 7th. On June 8th, we will be holding an additional sale day and encourage you to participate if you cannot make the 6th or 7th.

    Please send any questions to volunteer@housingworks.org,

    we're happy to help.
