New York Common Pantry

This holiday season so far, we've served over 12,500 families, and provided over 330,000 meals, including almost 10,000 turkeys, at sites and distributions across New York City. We've partnered with other community organizations, enrolled hundreds into our programs, and worked with hundreds of volunteers to receive, pack and distribute healthy holiday packages. However, we still need your support this holiday season. How You Can Still Help: ❄️Donate: Every dollar counts! https://bit.ly/3CIn5Dr ❄️Volunteer: Join us for our ongoing efforts. https://bit.ly/3B5e5rd ❄️Spread the Word: Share our mission with friends and family. Together, we can make a difference far beyond Thanksgiving. #foodpantry #foodsecurity #newyorkcity #nyc #holidayseason

We’re excited to share a special donation made by TRON DAO. We just received our first donation of 3,000 bananas! These bananas will be distributed through New York Common Pantry’s Food Programs - Hot Meals, Choice Pantry Manhattan, Choice Pantry Bronx, and Mobile Pantry. Between these programs we serve around 6,000 families each week. Bananas are a staple, and these donations will allow us to cut back on the number we purchase during the month of January. This banana donation project came together when H.E. Justin Sun, founder of Tron, acquired Maurizio Cattelan’s work, ‘Comedian’ for $6.2 million. He then bought 100,000 bananas from Shah Alam, a street fruit merchant in New York to donate these bananas to food pantries and communities in need. #foodpantry #bananaart #newyorkcity #nyc

Thank you Muslim Volunteers for New York! You organized volunteers to come to the Pantry over the holiday season and packed 130 Pantry distribution bags and prepared Brown Bag Meals To Go for our guests. Young people learned that these foods were packed to go to families and individuals facing food insecurity. #volunteer #Foodpantry newyorkcity #nyc #fighthunger

In total, during this holiday season, we distibuted 1,136 gift cards and stocking stuffers! Thanks to all for bringing joy and warmth to families in the community. Special thanks to the team at the Bronx Pantry, volunteers, and Santa for making it a more festive day! #Foodpantry #foodpantry #pantry #newyorkcity #nyc #volunteers #holidaygiving #seasonofgiving #cbsnyc #toydrive

We’re incredibly grateful for the generosity of Chopt Salad!

Our team recently volunteered at the New York Common Pantry, a non-profit organization whose mission is to reduce hunger and promote dignity, health and self-sufficiency. This initiative was an opportunity for us to connect and support New York City's largest community-based food pantry that focuses on under-served communities throughout the city. It was a meaningful experience, as we came together to assemble produce bags, organize additional items and package dog food for pet owners who may need a little extra help. We truly hope our contributions made the holidays a bit brighter for our community members and their furry friends. #volunteer #veterans #veteranowned #veteranownedbusiness #community #engagement #communitysupport #communityengagement #holidays #givingback #giveback #supportyourcommunity #teamworkdreamwork #military #militaryveterans
