If you are looking for other ways to volunteer throughout the year, here are some websites of organizations we work with that offer volunteer opportunities:
​

• Kids In Need Foundation (Minneapolis, MN and other major U.S. cities) - their "Get Involved" page lists some volunteer needs at the Minnesota headquarters or click the link to check out their "Volunteer at a Resource Center" for locations around the U.S.

​​

• Start Lighthouse (New York City, NY) - Do you love reading? Do you believe kids and communities benefit from greater access to books? They do, too. You can support Start Lighthouse’s mission to improve literacy and access in the Bronx by volunteering at one of their events.

​

• Feeding America (nationwide) - Food banks, food pantries, and meal programs in the Feeding America network are continuing to do what they do best - provide meals to our communities.  Whether you sort and pack food or distribute food, there are a lot of volunteer opportunities available.

​

• Caring for Miami (Miami, FL) - Do you have a passion for ensuring food security for Miami’s most vulnerable children? Children all across the city go to bed hungry every night. You can help to pack and deliver bags of nutritious meals to food insecure children across Miami Dade County.
