Midnight Run is a volunteer organization dedicated to finding common ground between the housed and the homeless. Headquartered in Dobbs Ferry, Midnight Run coordinates over 1,000 relief missions per year, in which volunteers from churches, synagogues, schools and other civic groups distribute food, clothing, blankets and personal care items to the homeless poor on the streets of New York City. The late-night relief efforts create a forum for trust, sharing, understanding and affection. That human exchange, rather than the exchange of goods, is the essence of the Midnight Run mission.

As part of my participation in Midnight Run Club through my high school and at Hitchcock Church, Sweet Caroline’s provides freshly made home baked goods to be included in the meals that the groups assemble and deliver. We then deliver the packages and witness firsthand how baking is love.
