Food Pantry Assistant

The Campaign Against Hunger | https://www.tcahnyc.org/

SuperPantry Overview:

As early innovators of client choice, we have ensured that the families we serve access food with dignity. TCAH’s client-choice pantry is in Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn and serves an average of 250 heads of household daily. The pantry carries a variety of nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables, lean protein-rich meats, whole grains, and other popular grocery items and is organized according to the USDA My Plate system to ensure families access all the food groups they need for a balanced diet. Families also shop according to their household size and dietary needs. TCAH prides itself in being a leader in choice to preserve the dignity of the families we serve through the provision of culturally appropriate foods that meet their needs. The pantry is open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. to accommodate the working poor.
