Hungry on Staten Island? Don't be! Know where to go
About Us
It is the mission of the Staten Island Hunger Task
Force to advocate for the needs of food-insecure families and individuals
and not-for-profit emergency feeding programs in order to ensure that hunger
needs are met in the borough of Staten Island.
The Hunger Task Force is committed to bringing awareness
to the issue of hunger in our borough in order to muster the will of community
leaders and members to fight for an end to hunger on Staten Island.
We will support the work of our local emergency feeding
programs through education, advocacy, and coordination of services as well
as support the city, state, and federal positions that advance both sufficient
anti-hunger resources as well as an end to hunger itself.
Meetings
The Staten Island Hunger Task Force meets the first Monday every month starting in January, with workshops instead of meetings during the summer.
The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 6 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. on Zoom. Please subscribe to SIHTF emails (at the top of this column) to receive the agenda and Zoom login information.
Hunter College's Food Policy Center has created an amazing list of neighborhood pantries and government resources, as well as stores ranging from supermarkets to corner delis. See:
Stapleton/St. George: includes City Council District 49. Zip codes 10301, 10304, 10305
Note: Please check hours and arrive at least half an hour before the pantry or kitchen closes. Most pantries and kitchens are staffed by volunteers who need to be able to leave on time. Thanks!
