Bronx Pantry Distribution - Morning Shift

Bronx Pantry Distribution - Morning Shift

Volunteers will help package and distribute free packages of groceries to low‑income families and individuals. Specific tasks include packing produce and pantry items (cans, boxes, jars), assembling and distributing each pantry package to members, sorting and organizing food, cleaning the pantry area after food distribution, and other activities as needed.

Volunteers must be at least 16 years old, be able to stand for 3.5 hours, and consistently handle 30 lb packages of groceries. Please wear closed‑toed shoes (e.g., sneakers) and comfortable clothing that can get dirty. Volunteers should plan on staying for the full length of their shift and should alert staff at the beginning of the shift if they need to leave early.

Our Choice Pantry Program offers fresh, culturally appropriate and nutritious free food to participants who qualify. Pantry packages are supplemental grocery packages in five food categories—protein, dairy, grains, fruits, and vegetables—proportional to the number of individuals in the family and provided every two weeks.
