NOTE: DUE TO THE CURRENT HEALTH CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND THE CORONAVIRUS, THIS IS A HIGHER-RISK VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY. PLEASE EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION, BE DILIGENT ABOUT HYGEINE, HANDWASHING, AND PROTECTION (GLOVES, MASKS) AND GET INVOLVED/LEARN MORE AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE, WE ARE ALSO COLLECTING DONATIONS HERE THAT WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE FOOD BANK TO SUPPORT THEIR WORK. EVERY $1 DONATED TO THE FOODBANK PROVIDES 5 MEALS.

Operations at Food Bank for NYC's warehouse will continue as the coronavirus situation is monitored, and the food bank's community kitchen and pantry will remain open for its senior programs, food pantry, and community meals. The food bank is taking proactive steps including increased deep cleanings, providing alcohol-based hand sanitizers, and ensuring that wipes are readily available in these public spaces. As the situation continues to evolve, the food bank continues to need help from other caring New Yorkers.

The food bank anticipates a big rise in demand for food in the coming weeks, and will need the help of more volunteers than usual to help us prepare meals and pack food and other essential items. If you don't want to volunteer (and aren't in a good position to donate), you can also help spread the word about the Food Bank’s work. Let your network know the food bank is a resource and encourage volunteers and donations.

New Yorkers are resilient, and we are powerful when we join together.
