The Staten Island Hunger Task Force is a coalition of many Island-based food pantries, soup kitchens, temples, churches, and other organizations that concern themselves primarily with making sure that Staten Islanders get enough food.

If you work in a pantry or soup kitchen, help with community meals, or are interested in food issues and advocacy, you're welcome to join us--just come to our meetings or click here to join our mailing list.

To contact the task force, email us at HungerOnStatenIsland -at- gmail.com.
