We Love Volunteers!

One of Austin's first days on the streets working, he comes home and says "I got this guy named Vinny at my Brooklyn spot. If I need anything Vinny can do it." I say, "Hold on...what do you mean you got this guy named Vinny. We're missionaries now. You can't have a guy named Vinny and what does Vinny do?"
Well, come to find out Vinny is a new Christian who lives in Brooklyn and meets the bus each week in Brooklyn as well as the Manhattan spot. He volunteers his time every week to come and help. Vinny speaks Spanish and God is using him to break through the language barrier we sometimes encounter.

FYI: NYCR actually depends on volunteers for day to day operation. We have many church groups that come and serve. There are also several people who volunteer their days on a regular basis at the Hope Center and on the Relief Bus. Some of our volunteers have been serving for more than 5 years!
We are so eager to have as many of our friends as possible to come and volunteer for a day or two on the bus. Let us know if you want to come!
