Connected 120,000 people to help and hope. Mobilized over 30,000 volunteers to serve with our outreach. People on the streets show up for the great food, but come away with so much more.

Paul is a pastor in Chelsea.

This summer he showed up to serve food with City Relief.

His main takeaway was, "We were created to be other-oriented."

In a city with as many needs as New York, or as crowded as New Jersey, getting out of yourself and into your community is one of the most practical things you can do.

Paul's church group comes back every year because of it.

800,000 Americans have died from drug overdoses in the last decade. 70% involved opioids.

Matthew runs street outreach for City Relief in New York. He carries Narcan on every shift.

Narcan is available at most pharmacies without a prescription. No training is required to pick it up, and free training exists online if you want it.

When fentanyl is involved, you may have 90 seconds. The person closest might be you.
