Live Healthy! is looking for a few volunteers to be a part of their fall programming. Live Healthy! provides nutrition workshops on how to increase fruits and vegetable intake. Volunteers are needed to help with various projects including school garden builds, garden maintenance, nutrition education workshop support, assistance with holiday initiatives, and overall administrative support.
Someone with a can do attitude, who's ready to take the initiative, and who thoroughly enjoys interacting with people as a representative of NYCP in the community would be an ideal candidate. It's a team effort and each person plays a vital role!
Volunteers must be at least 18 years or older, be able to lift at least 30 lbs, and be comfortable in a variety of environments.

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.
