Pantry Support - Truck Drivers
ORGANIZATION: 9 MILLION REASONS INC
Please visit the new page to apply.
We have an immediate need for drivers in New York City who can make deliveries in 26' box trucks. Everything helps! We are experiencing a surge in demand for bulk drop offs. We have a great supply of food, but not enough people to get it to our distribution partners who are providing emergency food relief to areas of New York devastated by unemployment.
CDL is a plus, but not required. There will be a driving record check and a ride-along before your first delivery.
If you have no experience, but are willing to learn how to operate a lift gate and maneuver large vehicles, we may also be able to offer training on a case-by-case basis!
We especially want to hear from anyone that could make a weekly commitment for one of our regular clients.

Mission Statement
9MR assists New York City residents to stand on their own two feet. We do this through food distribution and employable skill set training to meet the essentials for anyone in need.
Description
With 9 million people living in this city, we can think of 9 million reasons to give back. We provide free food for anyone in need.
In 2016, we started with just a supply room in a school with a desire to help the community. We were a few volunteers dedicated to helping New Yorkers who struggled to make ends meet. Every Saturday, we supplied 500 families with groceries that were bought, rescued, or donated from local grocery stores and food drives.
Currently, 9 Million Reasons is operating New York City’s largest and farthest reaching community food pantry. Families in need come to us for free groceries. We also are a distribution center assisting 223 smaller food pantries across the NY Metro Area. In 2020, we gave out 14 million meals.
We’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit that in addition to our pantry, we have a low-cost thrift store, and we work to bring resources to our neighbors, including ESL and GED classes, job training and résumé workshops, and community events. These projects are currently on hold due to our extensive focus on the pantry during the pandemic and ongoing economic crisis.
