Volunteer at Thanksgiving Dinner for the Homeless

  • St. Lucy's Catholic Church 432 Gifford Street Syracuse, NY, 13204 United States (map)

Join us to volunteer at the Annual We Rise Above the Streets Thanksgiving Dinner. It's a wonderful event—a great way to kick off the holiday season!

Every year, everyone has fun—both volunteers and the folks we serve. It’s a really festive atmosphere, and so appreciated by the guests!

We Rise above the Streets is asking for help in 2 ways: donations of food, and volunteers to help out the day of the event with setup, serving, and cleanup. If you would like to donate food and/or volunteer, there’s a link to a form on the We Rise Above the Streets homepage where you can sign up.

Volunteers are asked to wear a white shirt (preferably collared) and black pants. Volunteers are being asked to arrive between 9 and 9:30 am to start setting up.

For food donations, if you don’t also plan to volunteer, we can try to coordinate to come pick up your donation and take it to the event.

If you would like to RSVP to cnyhumanists@gmail.com, we will pass along any updates, and coordinate any pickups of donations.

I hope you will join us for this rewarding and joyful chance to help our neighbors!
