On Saturday, November 15th, AICP members worked at the Food Bank for New York City’s Mobile Pantry at Lehman Village to support their food distribution efforts. The client-choice model made the experience particularly meaningful, allowing families a chance to select the fresh produce and shelf-stable items that best fit their needs.
Over 200 families were served during this day of service that contributes to the community.
There is one additional to volunteer this holiday season! On Wednesday, December 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.
