When you volunteer your time and skills at a not-for-profit in New York, you are actually saving them around $28.52. That was the current dollar value for volunteer time * in New York in 2008 (Independent Sector).
Just imagine. Because of volunteers, not-for-profits can spend this money on someone that is poverty-stricken. I know that Met Council can certainly use every penny they can get.
So, thank you for your efforts. Thank you for being as valuable as you are!

* Please note that this is the average wage for non-agricultural, non-managerial positions and is to be used only as a tool to show how valuable volunteers are. The BLS offers the value of hourly wages by occupation.
