Help Make Change
Make a Donation that Makes a Difference
Instead of giving to panhandlers on the street, please make a donation that will help make a difference for our community.

2. The Ambassador Program
The Nyack Cares Fund is a donor fund with the United Way that supports programs to address the root causes of panhandling, providing you with a meaningful alternative to giving money directly to panhandlers on the street. Every dollar donated goes to hyper-local organizations that provide programs address the root causes of societal challenges like homelessness, addiction, food insecurity, and mental illness.

Nyack's Ambassador Program consists of a group of young people who will be patrolling in pairs and providing hospitality and public assistance on the streets of Nyack -- giving directions, answering questions, promoting events, and putting more "eyes and ears" on the street. If you're interested in joining up, click on the picture above to both apply for one of our paid positions or to volunteer to take Ambassador shifts.

3. The Village Constables
To help supplement the excellent efforts by the Orangetown Police Department, Nyack is hiring Village Constables who will patrol the downtown and riverfront areas to help maintain the order, safety, and cleanliness of the streets. The Constables are not police officers, but they will be empowered to enforce Village Codes against noise, littering, and similar quality-of-life issues.
