On Saturday, June 14th, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, 2025 volunteers from the AYLUS Roslyn Branch helped Nosh Delivers, which is a nonprofit food pantry that was founded during the 2020 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 to do different tasks. Some of the volunteers worked at the farmers market to help guide people through the produce as the others helped pack k-fip bags or lunch bags for children. After volunteers were done with their assigned task, they helped guide customers through the whole food pantry with other young volunteers from other branches.
Some obstacles we came across were communicating with customers and staff and knowing what they want or say. You always had to be attentive and listen. But working with the Nosh staff and volunteers was fun and a great experience.
Members who participated include:
