The AICP East Board has two upcoming volunteer opportunities.
On Saturday, November 15th, we will head up to the Food Bank for New York City’s Mobile Pantry at Lehman Village to help distribute food to those in need. Mobile Pantries follow a client choice–style pantry model, where clients can select groceries that are the best fit for their families, focusing on fresh produce and shelf–stable items. The shift will run from 9am to 1pm RSVP here if you would like to volunteer.
On Wednesday, Decmber 3rd we will be helping prepare and serve dinner at the Food Bank for New York City's Community Pantry in Harlem. This pantry is a place for New Yorkers without access to food to come get a hot meal and socialize. The shift will run from 3:30pm to 6:30pm. RSVP here if you would like to volunteer.
The Food Bank for New York City has been helping feed New Yorkers since 1983. With a network of around 1,200 food providers, they can be found in every corner of all five boroughs. The approximately 8,000 yearly volunteers that serve the food bank are integral to making sure their fellow New Yorkers in need have food on their plates.
