New York Cares :: For Companies :: Why Companies Volunteer

Last year we partnered with over 800 companies through our annual days of service, holiday volunteer programs, and Customized Corporate Volunteering program, engaging 30,000 employees in service. The work they did was worth $1.4 million in service to the community*.

By engaging their employees in volunteer service, socially responsible organizations can play a valuable role in meeting the social needs of our community, while simultaneously strengthening their organizations. Read what a few companies had to say about their experiences with us:
