Forest Hills Food Pantry
Commonpoint Queens
Commonpoint Queens' Food Pantry needs your help.
Our food pantry stocks a wide variety of non-perishable grocery items to help support local families in need. We need help with:
- Checking in clients;
- Bagging food items for clients to pick up;
- Stocking shelves, organizing grocery items.
Volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
During COVID-19, the schedule divides volunteers into three groups: Group A, Group B, and Group C. Each group will have designated shifts to volunteer. The shifts are as follows:
Group A
- Mondays from 8:30AM to 2:30PM

Volunteers may choose which group to be a part of and will only be permitted to volunteer during shifts that are assigned to their chosen group, as defined above. You may register for these shifts using this link: https://cerv.is/m?0295gvaM4GF
Volunteers who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and have had two weeks pass since their final dose will be permitted to volunteer across groups so long as they provide proof to volunteers@commonpointqueens.org.
