Let's Get to Work, New York.
The travel ban has been lifted, and the Mayor’s Office has declared the storm over—but for many New Yorkers, the work of digging out, recovering, and getting back on their feet is just beginning.
This is where caring New Yorkers come in.
Over the next several days, New York Cares will continue mobilizing nearly 100 volunteer projects and more than 700 volunteers across the city—from pantry support to ongoing community programs.
We’re working alongside our partners, City officials, and New York City Emergency Management to help guide how volunteers can show up safely and effectively.
