Date and Time of Service: Fri, August 7, 2026 9:00 A.M.-1:00 P.M.
Location: Nosh Delivers, Glen Cove NY
Volunteers arrived at Nosh Delivers Food Pantry in Glen Cove on Thursday, Aug 7, at 9:00 a.m. The staff and other volunteers greeted us and gave us instructions for the day. Volunteers split up into groups where one group helped other staff and the other group of volunteers took inventory of the new stock that had come in that morning, such as fresh produce, canned foods, grains, and other foodstuffs. One volunteer helped to bring the inventory in using dollies and another volunteer help pack the delivery cars that will eventually deliver the bags of food to families in need. There were carts of food outside that had name tags on them, and the volunteers hand carried these bags to each respective driver. This included pre-packed bags of grain, beans, and other canned food, breads, meat and vegetables, and eggs. Volunteers also went to help restock and organize the shelves. In our down time, volunteers also helped sweep and clean the shelf areas as well as the back packing area.
Overall, we learned through this experience that the willingness to provide and kindness is a universal language that can be understood by all, and why we must learn to appreciate it in our lives.
