Through kindness, compassion, and acts of goodwill, we can carry on his legacy.

 

To honor the legacy of Dr. King, TCAH is recruiting volunteers to pack grocery bags for our community partners on January 15th and 17th (MLK Day) at our Brooklyn warehouse, which is located at 744 Berriman Street in East New York.  On both days, groups of volunteers will serve in two shifts: 9:00 a.m. to noon and 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.  Please contact Michael Schaefer, our Volunteer Resource Manager for more information.  He can be reached at 718-773-3551, ext. 115 or mschaefer@tcahnyc.org.

 

This will be an in-person event, and we recognize the hesitation around gathering in public spaces. Your safety is our priority, and we will conduct temperature checks upon arrival and enforce proper mask-wearing, hand-washing, and social distancing throughout all shifts.

We are calling on volunteers to help us pack and distribute nutritious food for 20,000 families facing hunger.

Check back throughout the week to see our progress toward this ambitious goal!

Volunteers can choose from a series of service projects at various locations to contribute to our food justice mission. Please see them listed below and email volunteer@tcahnyc.org if you would be interested in participating in these ways. Alternatively, we will need financial and in-kind donations to provide the materials and supplies necessary to complete these projects.

All of the listed projects are initiatives TCAH has wanted to accomplish, but we are ill-equipped to tackle them independently. We would be grateful for your support on this day of service and remembrance!

We need volunteers to help us build and paint a functional farm shed for our Far Rock Farm. Participants must be prepared to be physically active through the entire shift. Participants will spend most of their time on their feet and will be asked to stand on ladders, use power tools, and lift lumber.

Other details: Our Far Rock Farm currently serves over 2000 families per year, and a place to house all farm tools and supplies is much needed. Supplies are currently being stored at three different locations.

We need volunteers to help us build a greenhouse. Participants must be prepared to bend for long periods of time, to lift a minimum of 20lbs, and must have some knowledge of power tool usage.
Other details: On November 1, 2019, eastern coastal winds destroyed our hoop house in Far Rockaway, Queens. Let’s join together on Martin Luther King Day to build something bigger and stronger: a greenhouse! TCAH will use the greenhouse to extend our growing season, to protect crops from bad weather, and to have winter started seedlings ready to plant in the spring. These structures also house our aquaponics system and provide event space. We need your help to keep us on track for 2021.
