DonateA Chance In Life’s Chris Dowling Elected to Chair the Staten Island Hunger Task Force
A Chance In Life is proud to share that our Director of Community Engagement of The Village Chris Dowling was elected to Chair the Staten Island Hunger Task Force in 2024! The Hunger Task Force (hungryonstatenisland.com) collaborates with organizations to connect community members to pantries and pantries to important resources. “The valuable tools provided on the website have been a blessing for those in need. I have been involved for the last 5 years and am pleased and honored by my election to the Chair position. We will be working to alleviate the growing food desert on the North Shore of Staten Island and continue to help those in need through our own The Village Free Market Pantry and through working with all the other pantries on the island,” Chris shared.
We congratulate Chris on his outstanding work and dedication!
A Chance In Life envisions a world where everyone has access to nutritious food and proudly advances the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2 Zero Hunger. Our program, The Village Free Market Food Pantry, empowers New Yorkers to choose foods and resources they need from a variety of choices. If you are interested in volunteering at The Village Free Market, please email thevillage@achanceinlife.org.
