Volunteer Opportunity Details:

From delivering campaign materials to restaurants and supermarkets in your neighborhood to conducting research interviews or distributing gift bags at events, volunteers are essential to the Food Bank's year-round public awareness, research and fundraising efforts. The Food Bank keeps costs low by using volunteers for the "soup-to-nuts" aspects of events, including staffing and invitation distribution — allowing the Food Bank to maintain one of the most efficient business models in the nation's food bank network. Our education and outreach efforts utilize volunteers to conduct interviews for research studies, coordinate Borough Hunger Task Force meetings in communities throughout the city and build relationships with the hospitality industry.

Excellent, I am the Food Coordinator with a food pantry in Jamaica, Queens

We distribute food to the Jamaica, Queens community three to four times a week with the help of donations from the Food Bank of NYC and City Harvest. I am the Food Coordinator and I enjoy volunteering yearly with the Food pantry. We are open all year around trying to feed the community. We love it and I just want you know that the Food Bank of NYC has helped us tremendously and we are eternally grateful. posted on July 18, 2006
