New York Cares is a nonprofit organization focused on volunteer management.[1] It was founded by a group of New York residents in 1987[2] who wanted a centralized way to organize efforts and access communities in New York City.

New York Cares is the largest volunteer network in New York City. The organization works with a base of 30,000[3] volunteers, and has engaged volunteers in over 8 million hours[4] of service since its inception. New York Cares works with about 1,300 nonprofits and schools, and aims to improve education, meet immediate needs, and revitalize public spaces throughout NYC. The organization plans and manages about 1,600 volunteer projects each month.

Since its inception, New York Cares has provided over 70 million meals[5] to New Yorkers in need.

New York Cares is a member of the Hands On Network and the Points of Light Foundation.
