Volunteers: Neighborhood Food Resource Guides

The Center is honored to recognize all of the volunteers who have spent time keeping the Coronavirus NYC Neighborhood Food Resource Guides up to date since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. A key component of the resource guides is maintaining up-to-date information on all of the community resources listed in each of the guides. Our volunteers make phone calls to all food pantries and soup kitchens, social service organizations, and retail food stores in order to ensure information posted is accurate and current in each food resource guide.

Over 300 volunteers have made over 90,000 calls to nearly 10,000 organizations and businesses since March 2020, when the food resource guide effort began. And calls are continually made. The resource guides are made possible through a community-wide effort.

Thank you to all of our past, current and future volunteers for your time, support and ongoing help maintaining each crucial food resource guide for our community.
