Food Pantry & Community Dining Room Volunteering
As New York strives to meet the needs of our community, especially as it grows to include recently arrived asylum seekers, your help at POTS is as vital as ever. Come on down to make new friends, or grab a couple and bring them with you to POTS to show support in our Food Pantry and Community Dining Room!
