Hunger Prevention Program @ Father’s Heart

  • December 11, 2021
  • 7:30AM-11:30AM
  • The Father's Heart Ministries - 543-545 East 11th Street, New York, NY 10009

Enter the holiday season and come close out the year by serving our communities as we fight against Hunger.  Volunteers are needed for multiple assignments which consist of preparing food, handing out bags of food, preparing the bags of food and welcoming or checking in guests.

The Father’s Heart Hunger Prevention Program consists of a soup kitchen and food pantry, open every Saturday except the first Saturday of the month from 10AM to 11 AM. They usually open earlier than 10 AM, as the line waiting for us to open is very long. Approximately 700 people or more are fed in their soup kitchen during this time. Guests are served eggs, potatoes, cereal, bread, fruit, juice, coffee and milk.

In an effort to restore a sense of dignity to those ordinarily relegated to food lines, seated guests are served an all-you-can-eat hot breakfast in a restaurant-style setting. Most of our guests “fill up” as much as they can, knowing they will not have a meal like this for another week; one person still holds the record – 22 plates of food eaten in one sitting! Guests are also encouraged to take part in our food pantry program, which supplies emergency and supplemental food in grocery bags.

LIMITED SPACES, REGISTER NOW AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE!

Due to the limited amount of volunteers we can accept for this program, please cancel your Eventbrite registration if you are unable to attend.
