HELP SUPPORT NEIGHBORS WITHOUT KITCHENS
Hour Children runs a food pantry for food-insecure people in our community. ACC has been volunteering at this food pantry since fall 2013. The last Thursday of every month, ACC volunteers help distribute food to the shoppers and help the staff and other volunteers clean up. Click here for a testimony from a volunteer.
The Hour Children Community Food Pantry is more than just a source of groceries—it’s a lifeline for many families in our community. We are accepting donations of microwaveable items every Sunday for the pantry. Items may be dropped off in the large box in the lobby. We need meat pouches - salmon, chicken, tuna and noodle soups. NO CANS, NO PEANUT BUTTER and NO COLD CEREAL please. THANK YOU! Here is a list of suggested food items.
If you would like to receive food from Hour Children Food Pantry, they are open on Mondays from 2-4PM, Tuesdays from 10:30AM-12:30PM and Thursdays from 2-4PM. The number is 718-482-8226 if you have further questions.
