"I came to help feed families — and ended up finding my own purpose. FCOC changed how I see my neighborhood."

Strengthen our city
Flushing is a vibrant, diverse community. Your service helps weave a stronger, more caring neighborhood for everyone.
Grow personally
Volunteering builds empathy, gratitude, and perspective — gifts that stay with you far beyond your service hours.
Dedicated volunteers fuel our critical services.
Whether you’re a whiz at organizing or you more often find yourself in the middle of a mess, there is a volunteer spot for you at the FCOC. If you are a natural at nurturing and love meeting people or prefer to keep your hands busy and quietly work at accomplishing a task, your help is needed. Training will be provided if you’d like to get involved in any way.
Belonging to a community offers the opportunity to receive help when needed. But, it also provides a rewarding opportunity to share your gifts, including the most valuable one: your time.
