Empire State Division

The Empire State Division oversees services in 48 Upstate New York counties, plus Sayre, PA. Its Area Services cover metropolitian areas (Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo) while 47 corps centers serve smaller cities and 170 volunteer service units operate in towns and villages.

Services range from disaster and emergency assistance, shelters, soup kitchens, food pantries, and youth and senior citizen programs in cities to assistance with meals, clothes, school supplies, utility bills and prescription costs in small communities. Our community centers offer weekly Sunday services.
