COVID-19 Response: Help Pack Emergency Food Donations
As part of Food Bank's response to COVID-19, we are increasing emergency food distributions across the five boroughs. Come pack food donations at our Warehouse to help these crucial supplies get out as quickly as possible to vulnerable New Yorkers!
We have opened extra volunteer shifts Monday through Friday at our Warehouse & Distribution Center in the Bronx to welcome individuals, groups, and families who want to help.
Food Bank is committed to ensuring New Yorkers in need continue to have access to meals during times of crisis. As part of our proactive response, we have continuity and prevention measures in place to help keep our operations up and running. We are following guidance from the CDC and local health officials to ensure best practices for the safety of our staff and volunteers, while continuing to serve the needs of New Yorkers in need.
- WHERE: This project will take place at our Warehouse at 355 Food Center Drive, Building #359 in Hunts Point in the Bronx (6 train to Hunts Point, then Bx6 to Food Center Drive/Hunts Point Market). Parking is available on site at Hunts Point Market for a $3 cash fee per private vehicle or $8 fee per bus.
- WHO: Volunteers age 10 and up are welcome. Teens age 13-17 may attend independently with a copy of Food Bank's youth volunteer waiver completed in advance by a parent/guardian. Volunteers under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
- WHAT TO WEAR: Please wear long pants and sturdy closed-toe shoes and refrain from wearing jewelry that may slip off while working. While the project is indoors, some areas of our Warehouse are not temperature-controlled so we recommend bringing extra layers to stay comfortable throughout your shift. We will have lockers available for volunteer belongings but space is limited so please leave valuables and large bags at home.
