  • Pantry Attendance Policy

  • When you join our team as a volunteer, you become an essential part of our operations. Our staff depends on you to serve our clients quickly and compassionately so that together, we can help people achieve self-sufficiency. Our volunteer program is purposefully designed to offer you a meaningful experience, and we trust you to value that experience and honor your commitment to our clients and community.

     

    The most important thing you can do to help our clients is to be here when you say you will be. Without you, the whole system falls apart. Clients can’t receive food if there is no one here to guide them through the pantry. Donations aren’t sorted and the shopping room isn’t restocked, meaning that clients have fewer options and may receive less than their peers. When we say our pantry is volunteer-run, we mean it. We’re counting on you, and so are our clients; please don’t let them down.

     

    Please arrive 5 minutes before your shift begins to ensure the person who serves before you will be able to leave on time.

     

    Expected Absences or Late Arrivals:

    That being said, we know that schedule conflicts may happen. We understand that things come up, schedules might change, and you may not be able to make every shift every week on time.

     

    If you know you have a schedule conflict for a particular date, e-mail Alysha, abell@mcum.org, as soon as possible, preferably at least one week in advance of the absence. We will use this notice to fill your shift and ensure the pantry is fully staffed.

     

    Habitual late arrivals may result in dismissal from the volunteer position but this is up to the discretion of the Volunteer Coordinator.

     

    Unexpected Absences or Late Arrivals:

    Last-minute absences should be communicated via phone by calling Alysha, 339-3429 (x13) or emailing abell@mcum.org.

     

    Last-minute absences are much more difficult to fill, so please let us know as soon as there is a conflict.

     

    No-Call-No-Shows:

    For the clients’ sake, no-call-no-shows cannot be tolerated.

     

    The first no-call-no-show will result in a conversation and written note of the incident. The second no-call-no-show may result in dismissal from the position.
