Hungerthon Needs Volunteers

Welcome to WHY’s Hungerthon volunteer page!

Each Fall, Hungerthon unites NY tri-state area radio stations, corporations, performing artists and professional sports teams in support of WHY’s fight against hunger and poverty. Hungerthon is a series of fundraising concerts and events that culminates in a radiothon. But more than just raising funds, Hungerthon helps raise the profiles of community-based programs fighting hunger and poverty every day. WHY uses Hungerthon as a tool to not only educate listeners, but also to invite participation in finding sustainable, grassroots solutions.

Hungerthon can’t work without you.

If you can volunteer as few as 4 consecutive hours to help us, please call us at 212 629-8850 to sign up. Please have ready the days and hours you are available to volunteer.

Thanks so much.
