One in five NYC children experiences hunger each month. Lemontree was founded to help solve this problem - we sell meal kits for $3 per meal and distribute them in neighborhoods where our service is needed the most.
Lemontree meal packing operations are entirely volunteer-powered! No cooking or experience of any kind is required. You'll just help us sort and package fresh meat and veggies. The groceries you pack will be on a family's dinner table tomorrow!
Our volunteer pack night takes place every Tuesday from 5-8pm in Industry City, Brooklyn. The next pack night is on Tuesday, December 4th and is a fulfilling and easy way to give back to the local community while meeting new friends. Feel free to bring a +1!
Space is limited so let us know you're joining by signing up on our MeetUp Group:

Interested in scheduling a group volunteer day for colleagues, friends or family? We'd love to help schedule your volunteer day. We provide everything you need to plan a great day of service. Send us an email at volunteers@lemontreefoods.org for more info.

Mission Statement
We believe everyone deserves an amazing dinner.
Description
Lemontree believes everyone deserves an amazing dinner.
As the COVID-19 pandemic struck New York, our nimble startup team pivoted to help save NYC's struggling emergency food system. Our first project, In It Together, connects thousands of volunteers with more than 70 high-need organizations. Now, we're expanding and continuing our work.
As the next months and years unfold, we're committed to making dinner time more dignified, more delicious and more fun for low-income families. As we do this, we're big believers in the power of technology and systems that scale. And we know that the best solutions come from listening to people who aren't like us.
