New York Common Pantry

About

New York Common Pantry is dedicated to reducing hunger throughout New York City while promoting dignity and self-sufficiency. We address the reasons for food insecurity with case management services through the help of Help 365, which assists Pantry visitors in gaining access to resources, and Project Dignity, which connects homeless visitors to resources.

Off-Site Volunteering

  • Food & Hunger
  • Up to 15 volunteers
  • No minimum donation

Thanks for wanting to make a difference in NYC! If you’d like to learn more about us, feel free to schedule a time to visit and tour our program or invite a Common Pantry staff member to present to your group off-site.

Volunteers are an integral part of our organization, and their contributions are invaluable and much appreciated. Without the dedication and tireless enthusiasm of our volunteers, New York Common Pantry could not provide its services.

We have many opportunities in our Pantry and Hot Meal programs for volunteers (groups or individuals) 4 years old or older. Or, volunteers may help with clerical tasks such as mailings, data entry and filing on weekdays.
