Spread Holiday Cheer By Finding a Local Volunteer Opportunity

As the holiday season ramps up, there are more opportunities than ever to make a difference in the Westchester and Rockland area. Volunteers of all ages and abilities are needed throughout the entire season of giving, from blowing up balloons and playing bingo with seniors on Thanksgiving to wrapping gifts for hospital patients and underprivileged children. Help is also needed at food pantries in Elmsford and New Rochelle.

Donation drives for local nonprofits include Toys for Tots, coats for kids and teens, care packages for United for the Troops, and healing holiday cards for hospice families.

Whether you can donate time, money, or a handmade holiday card, volunteers make the holiday season merry and bright.
