#Volunteer with our partner New York Common Pantry ! New York Common Pantry meets the emergency needs of our local community by providing healthy food, kinship and support to help overcome poverty-related challenges. You can volunteer in many different ways, from supporting an event to helping us distribute food to clients each week or serving lunch on a Wednesday.... Here are ways you can help: Weekly Food Distribution - Every Wednesday we distribute food to clients from 1 to 4 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m. - On Thursdays our distribution hours are 1 to 4 p.m. Volunteers help stock shelves, bag groceries, and assist clients as they shop for their favorite items. Monthly Produce Distribution Produce Day volunteers help us provide thousands of pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables to hundreds of neighbors in need. Join us for distribution on the third Monday of each month from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Volunteers help unload the produce, bag it and distribute to clients. Groups of up to 30 people are welcome. This is a great corporate volunteer activity! Food Drives Host a food drive at your school, club or place of work of worship. We can provide containers, signage and our wish list. You can also connect with one of our grocery store partners to host a food drive right at the store. Contact us at (917) 720-9700 in advance to coordinate your drive.
