Our Volunteers

Our volunteers are both the breath and spirit of Monday Night Hospitality.  They prepare the food, hand it out with love & compassion and create special bonds with our guests. 

Our volunteers range in age from 16 to 90 and include people from every profession and students from local colleges as well as members of the local community.  All are united in their commitment to serve our guests and contribute to the wellness of New Yorkers in need. We consider the dissemination of the knowledge of the needs of many in our community a vital part of each evening’s work.  As great as this knowledge is, even greater is the realization that the guests and volunteers share a common humanity and can create a spiritual bond in the time they share together.
