Volunteer and Aid Victims of Domestic Violence!

Met Council is proud to be holding their annual Passover Distribution at the Boro Park Y this year on Sunday April 6th. After the huge success of last year's distribution, we're excited to make this year's event even better.


  On Sunday, April 6th, volunteers will be distributing food packages to families that are victims of domestic violence onsite. Met Council established the Family Violence Program in 1995 to address the increasing awareness of the problem of domestic violence in the metropolitan area. Through our services, clients receive immediate assistance during the acute crisis and ongoing assistance as they move toward family stability. The Family Violence Program is able to provide culturally specialized services in addition to services catering to the family violence population.



The event will ensure that all families, no matter what background, have the ability to celebrate Passover.

If you'd like to volunteer for this event please e-mail us at volunteer@metcouncil.org or call 212-453-9508.

Date: April 6th, 2014
Time: 9:00 - 12:30 and then 1:00 - 3:00 (There are two separate shifts for volunteers. The first shift entails packaging the food items into boxes and the second involves the distribution of food items as clients arrive in the afternoon.)
Location: Boro Park Y - 4912 14th Ave Brooklyn, NY 11219


We'd love to hear from you!
