VOLUNTEER
We have numerous volunteer opportunities at the pantry. You must be 16 or older to volunteer. Please note that not all volunteer opportunities may be available currently. As slots are filled, they disappear from the signup. Please check back often for new opportunities.
WEEKENDS
Weekends involve volunteering from 7:30 am to 12:00 pm on Saturdays. Jobs can range from setting up, shopping through the pantry, loading vehicles, distributing food, parking, breaking down boxes, and cleaning up the pantry. Volunteers will be both inside and outside throughout the morning, so they should dress accordingly. After the last family is served, volunteers are released by the shift supervisor.
WEEKDAYS
Weekday help has two main categories: Receiving Truck Orders and Stocking Shelves. *Please note* The dates/times for receiving truck orders are subject to change due to the Feeding America truck availability. Each day may involve other items such as cleaning, or various odd tasks as the pantry's needs require. Due to the unknown nature of the jobs, volunteers may be both inside and outside throughout the shift, so they should dress accordingly.
