On Saturday, March 8th, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, 2025 volunteers from the Aylus Roslyn Branch helped Nosh Delivers, a nonprofit food pantry that was founded during the pandemic to help struggling families in need. 5 years later they still provide nutritious groceries or “Nosh bags” to hundreds of families.
When the volunteers arrived, they got assigned different tasks that all had the goal of helping families in need. Once all volunteers had arrived we were all assigned to help guide and serve customers with the Nosh staff. Some helped in the farmers market and some helped distributing cans and other boxes goods. These customers were families in need of food and support. Volunteers also helped restock and prepare Nosh bags for children. Some obstacles we came across were communicating with customers and staff. Skills you need to take on this job are hardwork and patience. Something that helped you overcome this challenge is knowing that every loaf, every can, etc that you organize is going to a family in need. Not only the families, but the staff as well.
