Founded in 1989, City Relief has been offering connections to help and hope to people in New York City and New Jersey who have experienced homelessness and poverty with compassion and excellence.

We created these training modules with you in mind, whether you are an individual volunteer, an out-of-state service trip, or a corporate group, our training is an easy, comprehensive way to prepare for serving our friends on the street.

Our goal for every volunteer is to be changed for the better

and to become an agent of change in YOUR community.


A Volunteer Thank You:

"The welcome and on-site instructions were great and we felt needed and definitely blessed by the opportunity to simply serve, demonstrate the love of Jesus in deed.

Working alongside the other volunteers was great fellowship. We appreciated being involved right in our own neighborhood. I was happy to serve in the kitchen.

Thank-you for the work to make this opportunity available for others to participate, and stretching our hearts to have compassion for 'the least of these.' "
