Come help distribute food at Union Settlement's General Store! In response to COVID-19, Union Settlement created a General Store, to help with food insecurity in East Harlem. Members of the community come to the store twice a week to shop for items such as shelf stable food and toiletries, at no cost. Volunteers will be needed from 8am-2pm and will assist with set-up and breakdown, check-in, and ensuring shoppers social distance from one another.
Spanish or Mandarin language skills are helpful, though not required.
