Neighborhood Supper — Community Meal Service
Join Rotaract NYC for our monthly Neighborhood Supper, a community meal service in partnership with the Holy Trinity Neighborhood Center. Volunteers help prepare and serve a warm, restaurant-style dinner to homeless and working-poor New Yorkers — guests are served coffee, water, and a hot meal right at their table. We serve 90–120 guests each month. Volunteers typically arrive in the early afternoon to help set up. No experience needed — just bring a warm heart and a willingness to help. When: The third Saturday of every month, 3:30–6:30 PM. Where: The Church of the Holy Trinity, 316 East 88th Street, New York, NY. Register below to claim your volunteer spot for an upcoming date.

What We Do
Three Pillars of Rotaract
Everything we do is guided by our commitment to service, professional growth, and building a global community.
Community Service
We organize impactful service projects that address real needs in New York City and beyond — from food banks to park cleanups to international initiatives.
Professional Growth
Connect with peers across industries, attend professional development workshops, build leadership skills, and grow your network in the world's greatest city.
Global Fellowship
As part of Rotary International, we connect with Rotaract clubs worldwide. Build lifelong friendships that span borders, cultures, and continents.
“Thank you for organizing such a meaningful event! It was wonderful to see everyone come together to help our community. Looking forward to the next event!”
