From Ranks of Jobless, a Flood of Volunteers

God’s Love We Deliver, which provides food to the severely ill in their homes across New York City, has seen a record number of the recently laid-off among its 1,400-member volunteer corps, according to Karen Pearl, the organization’s president and chief executive. Among them is Eryka Teisch, who saw her job disappear when her financial technology firm downsized in September. God’s Love initially asked her for two hours a week.
