As New Yorkers continue navigating the expanded SNAP and Medicaid work requirements, Volunteer New York! is addressing one piece of that challenge: connecting people with local volunteer opportunities that align with their interests, skills, schedules, and geographic needs.
Volunteer New York! serves as a community resource for people looking for volunteer opportunities and is working with frontline organizations to better understand the practical needs emerging across Westchester and the Lower Hudson Valley.
Volunteer New York! is also hosting a complimentary webinar (see attached invitation) on Monday, November 16th from 5:30pm to 6:30pm, offering guidance on new SNAP and Medicaid work requirements and how volunteering can help you keep your benefits.
