What you can expect

Next Step Community Church offers a grocery distribution 3 Saturdays a month, serving between 300-400 families each week. Folks are invited to come into the Next Step space to pick out their groceries, and pre-packed bags are also available for disabled community members. Volunteers are needed from 8:00-10:30am on Saturdays to support this ministry. 

Volunteers are needed to help with:

• Preparing and filling the grocery bags that will be distributed to disabled folks who cannot come into the space to pick out their groceries.

• Checking people in when they arrive

• Providing hospitality and assisting people with getting their groceries

• Offering translation support to our Asian brothers and sisters

• Cleaning up of the space afterwards

This is a great opportunity for you if...

• You have no prior experience

• You are passionate about helping with food insecurity in Brooklyn

• You speak Mandarin or Cantonese and are willing to provide translation services (not a requirement, but an added bonus!)

• You want a mix of behind-the-scenes preparation AND interacting with people during distribution
