The Live Healthy! Farm to Community initiative provides farm share members with affordable, locally sourced, seasonal produce direct from farmers to their kitchens. As a volunteer with the Live Healthy! team, you will support in the receipt, counting, and packing of produce, eggs, and other nutrient dense foods for our farm share community. Join our team as we host packing parties every other Monday, and together, we can bring delicious and nutritious food directly to community members that need it the most!

About New York Common Pantry
Location:
8 East 109th Street, New York, NY 10029, US
Mission Statement
The New York Common Pantry is dedicated to reducing hunger throughout New York City while promoting dignity and self-sufficiency.
Description
New York Common Pantry works toward the reduction of hunger and food insecurity through an array of programs that function to establish long-term independence for those we serve. Our whole-person approach starts with food provision through the distribution of nutritious, fresh food pantry packages in Choice Pantry and hearty balanced breakfast and dinner in the Hot Meals program. Supplemental food is provided to seniors aged 60 and older through Nourish.
We then go further to address the reasons for food insecurity with case management services through the help of Help 365, which assists Pantry visitors in gaining access to resources, and Project Dignity, which connects homeless visitors to resources. The third vital element in our whole-person approach is education offered through our Live Healthy! program. Live Healthy! teaches children and adults about the importance of a nutritionally sound diet and active living, as well as provides them with the skills necessary to make healthier choices for their families.
