Food Pantry Support – Feast of Justice

Help feed families in Northeast Philadelphia! Your time makes a difference.

Feast of Justice is a non-profit, choice-model food pantry serving eleven ZIP codes throughout Northeast Philadelphia. With only nine paid staff members, we rely on our community of over 800 active volunteers to keep us running! We are open to volunteers Monday through Saturday at both our Tyson Ave and Castor Ave locations. Our food distributions, which serve an average of 1,500 families per month, occur weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and select Sundays and Wednesdays. (Please check our website for more information about our schedule).

For many families, visiting a food pantry can be a stigmatized experience. At Feast of Justice, we seek to dignify and empower our guests through their shopping experience, creating a welcoming environment for all. Community members make decisions about which food items to take, selecting from fresh produce, meat, dairy, pre-prepared products, dry goods, and bakery items. The only major difference between our pantry and a traditional grocery store is that our food is free!

Serving at Feast of Justice requires adaptability, as our shifts are typically fast-paced and customer-facing. There are volunteer roles for every ability level and interest: from restocking pantry items and bagging groceries to greeting guests and using our online database. We also need volunteers to help us purge expired produce and dry goods, receive and organize food deliveries, and help us set up the market for our guests. No experience or minimum length of service required!

Benefits:

• Develop useful resume-building skills like customer service and communication
• Earn community service hours for school, court, or to maintain SNAP/Medicaid benefits
• Build meaningful connections with other volunteers, guests, and Feast of Justice staff
• Give back to the community by helping us feed our neighbors!
