Hoboken shelter on Bloomfield. They can use donations (not food items pre-opened). Spices and garlic are good also. And if you go to help prep food / cook, also stay to help clean. A lot of volunteers just show up to help serve the food and then leave before cleaning starts.

Honestly not trying to snark, but did you try searching previous posts on the topic? I know the search function isn’t always great but there’s been a few recent threads that will be a good starting point. Check Hoboken sub as well.

To help narrow down, consider why you want to volunteer, what interests or skills you have (doesn’t necessarily have to be any special skill though. Lots of opportunities are just like, show up / be humble / be useful ) and what kind of time commitment you can make.

Good luck!

Community gardens. I volunteer when I can at a garden in Bergen Lafayette in between Arlington ave and Minerva st

Grace Church Van Vorst serves breakfast to hundreds of hungry people every Sat & Sun (days that shelters and other services aren't as available). Just show up around 7am.

There are a few cool things if you call the parks department. They let you pick what you’re into. I wanted to volunteer with teens. There were a lot of events over the holidays. Be forewarned that they move pretty slow and they have to do a background check which takes a week or two. Maybe call the library too. JC seems pretty stale and there isn’t a ton going on.
