Jay Zises, the chairman of A Cap, Inc., in New York City has volunteered with many charitable organizations over time. Jay Zises has volunteered at the Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest's network of soup kitchens and food pantries, helping address the problem of hunger in his community. Heavenly Rest uses a multifaceted approach to address the issue of hunger. While the Church operates a network of more than a thousand soup kitchens and food pantries, that is not the organization's only solution. One program Heavenly Rest uses is its Grace-to-Go meals, which are shelf-stable, ready-to-cook meal kits that can be distributed to those in need when food pantries are closed. These meals can be easily distributed through Heavenly Rest's many partners. One Heavenly Rest partner, an elementary school called P.S. 30, has also implemented a snack and story time event that targets young people struggling with hunger. This snack and story time event occurs every Friday, thereby ensuring that at least one day a week these young people learn about healthy eating habits while getting access to healthy foods. Finally, Heavenly Rest has expanded the number of programs that allow public access to its kitchens. During these events community members make baked goods, such as bread and cookies, together.
