News & Stories

News and stories from Don Bosco Cares — how our programs serve the community, and how you can be part of them. We will share updates here as they are available.

Volunteer with Don Bosco Cares

Our Community Meals, Food Pantry, Open Closet, Senior & Disability Services, and Mobile Pantry programs are supported by volunteers from across the community. Volunteers help prepare and serve meals, organize donations, and support neighbors who come to us for assistance.

Volunteer placement is not automatic. Carmen Lopez de Linero reviews volunteer interest personally and will help you find the program that fits you best.

Ways to give

Gifts of money and goods both help Don Bosco Cares serve individuals, families, seniors, and people with disabilities in Port Chester. Checks and cash can be given in person at the center, and we gratefully welcome donations of clothing, food, small appliances, and other useful household items.

Before dropping off larger items, please contact us so we can confirm current needs and arrange a convenient time.
