NATURE & PURPOSE OF SERVICE SITE:    

The New Life Food and Clothing Pantry serves the Elmhurst community’s low-income populace with nutritious non-perishable food, occasional fresh produce, personal care items and gently-used clothing free of charge.  New Life serves approximately 150-160 clients per shift and is a very diverse community, helping people from all backgrounds.

USD volunteers will help distribute food and clothing and create a sense of community for Elmhurst and Queens residents. Assistance may be needed with food bag preparation, clothing set up, assisting clients, and clean up and breakdown. Additionally, USD volunteers may assist elderly clients with their carts when entering and exiting the New Life building.
