Description

Come help Pack food packages for Passover! Met Council and its extended network, will continue to assist New York Citiy's most vulnerable communities of homebound seniors and holocaust survivors for the duration of the Covid-19 crisis. Beyond Met Council's usual work of supplying millions of pounds of free food to 149 pantries and special distribution sites, we are now preparing for the Passover by preparing Kosher Food Packages for our clients! Come and help unload palettes of food and organize them at one of the Kosher Food Pantries. Your efforts can help people have quality Kosher meals for this high holiday season! We are cautioning those who are sick or who could be considered a High-Risk Individual to not attend volunteer activities. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene identifies High-Risk Individuals as the following: individuals with chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, individuals with a compromised immune system, and individuals with chronic lung disease and/or cancer. If you are not feeling any cold or flu like symptoms and are not considered and at risk individual, please sign up for this volunteer opportunity to help pack emergency kosher food packages for our over 200,000 clients that are in need of food during this crisis.
