The Food Pantry Affinity Group brings together leaders and volunteers from parish-based food ministries across Long Island for conversation, collaboration, and shared learning. We exchange practical strategies, explore challenges, and strengthen the relationships that sustain this vital work.
This season, we're focused on volunteer engagement: recruiting new volunteers, deepening commitment among current teams, and building systems that support long-term sustainability.
Whether your pantry is well-established or just getting started, this group offers encouragement, practical ideas, and connection with others who understand the sacred work of feeding our neighbors with dignity.
