Volunteers

 

Membership is open to all. There are no dues or any other kind of financial commitment.

There are many different roles required to successfully run a Food Pantry, Clothes Closet and Community Kitchen. There are many to choose from. As a caveat, if you wish to participate in the food distribution effort either in food pickup and delivery or in selecting and packing orders, these involve some heavy lifting and persons with physical limitations should not volunteer for these activities. Please review the list of volunteer functions if you wish to donate some of your time to our organization.

If you would like to participate in our organization and contribute some of your time, please fill out the online application below or complete a hard-copy application at the pantry on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between 10:00 AM and 12:00 Noon. Lisa Parker, our Volunteer Coordinator, will be in touch with you about available volunteer opportunities.
