**Agency & Mission:** The United Jewish Council of the East Side (UJCES) is a nonprofit agency providing human services and community development programs in the Lower East Side to preserve and stabilize the community. Our programs include home care, older adult centers, social services, and food assistance. The majority of our clients served are seniors, but we serve all ages across the New York City area.

As part of our food assistance programs, UJCES sponsors two food pantries, which continue to be a vital resource for the community through the COVID-19 pandemic. The pantries cannot run without the support of volunteers.

Volunteer Leaders, which may consist of community groups or confident individuals, will lead the pantry and keep it running for the community.
