Join New York Common Pantry's Hot Meals program in it's fight to end hunger! Every week day morning, we serve a healthy hot breakfast to 200 food insecure guests.
All of our meals are cooked in our kitchen on site, our staff cook prepares hearty balanced meals with whole some ingredients. Our dining room offers participants a chance to eat, sit, and socialize in a relaxing, safe, friendly atmosphere that offers a retreat from the tension of being homelewss or living in poverty.
To serve breakfast we need your help on Monday or Tuesday from 7:30 to 9:30 am distributing tray, serving hot or cold food and drinks, collecting guest information, replenishing supplies, and washing dishes.

About New York Common Pantry
Location:
8 East 109th Street, New York, NY 10029, US
Mission Statement
The New York Common Pantry is dedicated to reducing hunger throughout New York City while promoting dignity and self-sufficiency.
Description
New York Common Pantry works toward the reduction of hunger and food insecurity through an array of programs that function to establish long-term independence for those we serve. Our whole-person approach starts with food provision through the distribution of nutritious, fresh food pantry packages in Choice Pantry and hearty balanced breakfast and dinner in the Hot Meals program. Supplemental food is provided to seniors aged 60 and older through Nourish.
We then go further to address the reasons for food insecurity with case management services through the help of Help 365, which assists Pantry visitors in gaining access to resources, and Project Dignity, which connects homeless visitors to resources. The third vital element in our whole-person approach is education offered through our Live Healthy! program. Live Healthy! teaches children and adults about the importance of a nutritionally sound diet and active living, as well as provides them with the skills necessary to make healthier choices for their families.
