UOCNYC New Facility "Housewarming Gifts" List

Hey friends,

The Urban Outreach Center of NYC is excited to announce that we will be moving into our brand new facility at 1745 1st Avenue on the Upper East Side in mid-October 2020.

We have had several friends and organizations who have asked us for a list of “housewarming gifts” to help welcome our team and the nearly 50,000 homeless and low-income guests we serve annually into this new space.

Here it is! These are some essential items that will help us properly outfit the first supermarket-style food pantry on the East Side of Manhattan, and, keep our guests, staff, and volunteers safe!

All items can be shipped to:

The Urban Outreach Center of NYC

PLEASE LET US KNOW DIRECTLY IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED ONE OF THE ITEMS, SO THAT WE CAN REMOVE IT FROM THE LIST BY E-MAILING JORDAN@UOCNYC.ORG.
