Social Services and Food Pantry Volunteers assist with the following activities: loading and unloading vans/trucks, sorting food items, breakdown boxes, crowd flow management, tearing down tables and tents, and maintaining the pantry area (clean and organized). Help with set-up, greeting attendees, answering questions, and recruiting volunteers for various sign areas. Volunteers sort and package produce and other perishable items while packing the truck in preparation for distribution.
Sorting donated food and personal items every day, volunteers inspect, sort, and pack perishable and non-perishable food for distribution to direct feeding programs, and items may be packed for the mobile pantry truck. Office assistant volunteers are often needed for 'Thank You' notes, files, copies, stuffing envelopes, processing mail, doing data entry, and helping at food drives and special events. And fold and stuff letters to assist.
We acknowledge all major holidays unless informed otherwise.
Select your volunteer assignment choices in order of preference. Our best efforts will be made to assign you accordingly, but you may be reassigned based on need.
