Health and Wellness Projects with New York Cares

On New York Cares' Health and Wellness projects, volunteers bring much-needed companionship to long-term hospital residents and individuals living with devastating illnesses, such as HIV/AIDS.

Volunteers host parties, prepare and deliver meals, knit, play music or games, and more with patients who are often isolated and lonely.

After that, you can choose from hundreds of flexibly scheduled volunteer projects every month.
