Please submit a current resume and cover letter to: OssFoodPan869@gmail.com The Ossining Food Pantry was founded in 1988 and has continued fighting hunger ever since. Our mission is to address the food insecurity of our neighbors in the Ossining/Briarcliff community. We provide supplemental food to seniors, individuals, and families. The Pantry makes a huge impact in our community by providing a healthy mix of shelf-stable and fresh foods (vegetables, meat, dairy) for approximately 400 households/ 1,000+ people each week. We partner with the Ossining Farmers Market to provide additional food options to clients. We operate a "choice pantry" food distribution where clients may shop and choose the foods they need and like based on their household size. Volunteers deliver pre-packed bags of groceries to the homebound and to eligible families at Ossining Children’s Center. The Ossining Food Pantry currently operates as a decentralized organization. We have a "Working Board" consisting of individual "team leaders" who are committed to serving the community and perform their individual duties with dedication, often well beyond their formal scope of responsibilities. The Ossining Food Pantry is a 100% volunteer organization with no paid staff. We are funded by philanthropic and community support. The Ossining Food Pantry is a member agency of Feeding Westchester. We are a charitable 501(c)(3) not-for-profit "public" corporation, and we are registered with the N.Y. State Attorney General’s Charities Bureau.
