Food Pantry (Little Neck)
Commonpoint Queens
Commonpoint Queens' Food Pantry needs your help.
Our food pantry stocks a variety of non-perishable and perishable grocery items to help support local families in need.
We need help with:
- Bagging food packages for clients to pick up
- Stocking shelves, organizing grocery items and boxes when the deliveries arrive
- Loading delivery cars and buses with packages
- An option to help with delivery is available - please inquire
- Most importantly providing peace of mind to so many people in need in our community
Volunteers can help at the Food Pantry
Monday - Friday from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm
The work area is very spacious, but not air-conditioned.
Volunteers may be required to lift boxes and packages up to 50 lbs but this is not a requirement to volunteer.
Volunteers should bring their own water and are welcome to bring lunch or buy lunch from the cafe at the pool.
