Volunteers will be split into 3 teams with 1 scooper, 2 baggers, and 1 packer each (3 scoopers, 6 baggers, and 3 packers total), and the work should take no more than 2 hours. We will provide disposable gloves and hairnets for volunteers, and we can accommodate bagger volunteers who are either wheelchair users or more comfortable working in a seated position. Packer volunteers must be able to lift up to 25 lbs and occasionally squat to arrange bean parcels on pallets. Closed-toe shoes are required as usual. You can choose to bring a hat to the shift if you would like to not wear a hairnet.

Mission Statement

Description
HUNGER FREE AMERICA (formerly known as the New York City Coalition Against Hunger) is a national nonprofit group building a nonpartisan, grass-roots membership movement to enact the policies and programs needed to end domestic hunger and ensure that all Americans have sufficient access to nutritious food.
Our long-term goal is not just to ameliorate the problem, but also to build the people’s movement necessary to enact the economic and public policies needed to end hunger entirely. Given that hunger drains our economy and tears at our moral and civic fabric, we know that eliminating it will boost the nation both economically and spiritually. Towards that end, we’ve adopted the motto: "Ending hunger lifts us all."
