25 Days Of Holiday Volunteering—Day 3: Holiday Dinner Food Drive

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — 'Tis the season for giving back to your community. There are a number of ways that you and your family can help out through the holidays and help others.

Every day through Christmas, Patch will be highlighting a way you can provide compassion and resources to those in need.

Volunteer New York! makes it easy to find ways to help — through donations, supporting nonprofits and even volunteering from home.

Today's opportunity is for the YWCA White Plains and Central Westchester. The organization is hosting a food drive to prepare holiday dinners for its 193 residents. This is a self-directed project in which volunteers donate items, such as turkeys, canned goods, elbow pasta and brown sugar, and drop them off at the Y in White Plains. For more information, including a complete list of needed items, or to express interest in volunteering, go here.
