Goddard Riverside Community Center is one of New York City’s leading human service organizations.
BOOK FAIR: This is a great volunteer experience for anyone who loves books. Books are donated to us from major publishing houses over the summer and in the fall we seek volunteers to help us prepare and then sell books at the fair. We need volunteers who can do the following:
- Spend a Saturday morning unpacking boxes of books and sorting the books into categories.
- Spend a morning or afternoon helping us sell books at the fair.

- Five to 10 men and women practice résumé writing and interview skills with high school and college students from our youth programs.
- Groups of all sizes support the annual Goddard Riverside Book Fair in November, by sorting boxes of donated best sellers and then selling books during the weekend of the event.
HOLIDAY MEALS: We need volunteers who can do the following:
- Bake pies and cookies for our dessert table.
- Prepare stuffing and carve turkeys with our kitchen team.
- Serve Thanksgiving and/or Christmas dinners to our guests.
