Jericho's Food Pantry has seen its need quadruple since the pandemic, and so we're in need of extra hands to serve those who are struggling to put food on the table. Our pantry operates on Fridays, but we have opportunities on Mondays-Thursdays too. These include unloading deliveries, organizing product, inventorying items, and preparing bags of non-perishables for distribution.
Hours are 10:00am to 5:00pm. We're asking for a minimum two-hour commitment, at least twice a month. On Fridays, our greatest need is between 10:30 and noon, when our food truck needs to be unloaded. (Lifting involved.) Our distribution continues to be no-contact (directly into cars) from our indoor-outdoor staging sites.

About Jericho Partnership, Inc
Location:

Mission Statement
Jericho Partnership is a nonprofit collaboration of word and deed ministry organizations and congregations dedicated to serving the at-risk community of Danbury, CT, focusing on issues related to the life and health of our city’s at-risk youth, and by extension, their families. Taking our name from the Biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, who aided a beaten and bruised traveler on the ancient road to Jericho, we aim to fulfill the Bible’s twin directives of proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ and of doing good deeds to demonstrate His love - benefiting our community by helping those in need of spiritual, emotional and material transformation.
Description
Our History
Jericho Partnership grew out of a 1999 project when several hundred volunteers from urban and suburban Danbury, Conn., congregations began renovating a derelict, burned-out 1800s downtown factory. The result is Jericho House, the home of Cambodian New Life Evangelical Church and several independent Christ-centered ministires for at-risk adults.
As the five-year project progressed, a vision emerged for a Christian charitable organization that would mobilize Christ-centered word-and-deed ministries and congregations into a collaborative serving the city's at-risk communities. Jericho Partnership was formed, providng an ongoing demonstration of living uncompromisingly for the glory of God.
Since then Jericho has become a 501(c)3 cross-cultural organization providing financial, volunteer, facility and staff support to 10 autonomous ministries in Danbury, and collaborates with more than 20 urban and suburban congregations for year-round inner-city ministries and projects.
