ORGANIZATION: Hunger Free America
Please visit the new page to apply.
Established in 1991, the Kehilat Sephardim Food Pantry serves over 1,200 families weekly in an effort to help end hunger in the community. We distribute over 8,000 food packages and holiday meals each month through scheduled distributions daily.
Kehilat Food Pantry is looking for volunteers to help distribute food via the pantry's distribution line in an effort to help fight food insecurity in the Greater Queens community. Volunteers will assist in handling a broad range of kosher products and assorted goods for distribution to the pantry’s clients. Other duties include packing and sorting, as well as client management. Volunteers will be operating outdoors and should dress appropriately for the weather. For more information, please visit www.kehilatpantry.org
Volunteers will assist in handling a broad range of kosher products and assorted goods. The pantry serves a diverse population, so proficiency in Spanish, Mandarin, or Cantonese is helpful (but not required). Volunteers will be operating outdoors and should dress appropriately. Some lifting of around 10-20 lbs may be required as well.

Description
HUNGER FREE AMERICA (formerly known as the New York City Coalition Against Hunger) is a national nonprofit group building a nonpartisan, grass-roots membership movement to enact the policies and programs needed to end domestic hunger and ensure that all Americans have sufficient access to nutritious food.
Our long-term goal is not just to ameliorate the problem, but also to build the people’s movement necessary to enact the economic and public policies needed to end hunger entirely. Given that hunger drains our economy and tears at our moral and civic fabric, we know that eliminating it will boost the nation both economically and spiritually. Towards that end, we’ve adopted the motto: "Ending hunger lifts us all."
