About this Opportunity
Mobile Food Pantry Shopper & Reception Volunteers needed in Stamford. Shoppers assist clients select food while reception volunteers check in clients and schedule future appointments. P2P is committed not just to providing area residents with food, but with nutritious food to support health and wellbeing. That’s why fresh fruits and vegetables are always the first item you see when entering one of our three food pantries, and there is never a limit on how much a household can take. We know that healthy food is a matter of public health. Launched in 2018, P2P on Wheels (aka: Phil the Truck) revolutionized the concept of “getting food where it needs to be”, bringing our food pantry and casework teams right in Stamford residents’ own neighborhoods. In the first year after the launch of P2P on Wheels, P2P distributed 25% more food to Stamford residents. P2P partners with local Stamford agencies, allowing us to reach families, seniors, immigrants and new Americans, and those on the edge of homelessness. P2P On Wheels offers Stamford residents the opportunity to select free grocery items - including fresh produce, dairy items, meat and poultry, shelf-stable goods - to prepare three meals a day for seven days for every member of the family.
All pantry shopping visits are by appointment following an initial meeting with a P2P Caseworker. Mobile food pantry (truck) serves Stamford residents and travels to several locations in the city operating weekdays. Weeknight and Saturday hours to start in late September 2024.
