Do you care about hunger and getting people the fresh food they need? Do you want to give back to vulnerable New Yorkers? Then this is the opportunity for you!
Lantern Community Services is a social services organization that provides services to people who are formerly homeless or have recently aged out of foster care. We do this through our supportive housing program, which is based on the latest evidence of what provides the most benefit to our clients. Our programs support our clients in the areas of health, employment, education, and life skills and are delivered inside our residences.
Lantern is looking for volunteers who can give 2 hours every other Monday from 12:30pm-2:30pm to help distribute an assortment of seasonal fruits, vegetables, eggs and grains sourced from local farmers as part of our Fresh Food Box program. Volunteers will help put out food and distribute it to residents. This is a great way to connect with our residents and help them live healthier lives!
