[Socrates] Volunteer at Pomonok Community Center this Fall!

[Yael Rosenstock]

*Volunteer at Pomonok Community Center this Fall! *



During this service-learning program, students will support the Food Access
Initiative at the Pomonok Community Center. This program will give students
the opportunity to explore a community-centered approach to addressing food
insecurity in NYC. Students will be able to volunteer at the weekly farmers
market, the food pantry, and the garden throughout the week. Tasks
could include setting up for events, selling and distributing food,
assisting with healthy cooking and eating demonstrations, and general
garden maintenance tasks such as planting, watering, harvesting and
composting. The program is also seeking nutrition students who can create
handouts about the different produce offered. Through this project,
students will learn multiple strategies to increase access to healthy food
while building stronger community ties at Pomonok while striving for food
justice.


Volunteer shifts begin *September 10th *with different days of the week
available.


Contact Simone Herbin by phone or email as soon as possible but *no later
than September 5th* if interested in volunteering.
