Join the Fresh Pantries’ Distribution Site Team on Saturdays in Fort Greene, Brooklyn! Every Saturday, the Fresh Pantries team distributes weekly offerings of essential groceries, fresh produce, dairy, meat, and eggs to our neighbors facing food insecurity.

During our distribution hours, jobs range from stocking tables and distributing food to breaking down boxes and keeping the space tidy. There’s a place for everyone at Fresh Pantries! If you can’t do any heavy lifting, we always have other roles like helping check-in our regulars and registering newcomers! All are welcome and encouraged to come!
