Food Pantry Volunteers

Food pantry volunteers will assist clients as they shop in our on-site food pantry.

Ages 13+ (anyone under 18 must volunteer alongside parent/guardian)

DUTIES WILL INCLUDE:

• Loading cars as they come through the drive-thru
• Directing traffic into, through, and out of the building

What else do I need to know?

• Some heavy lifting is involved - up to 30 pounds.
• This project does take place indoors in our chute area with some outdoor positions for traffic. The garage doors will be open on both ends so the chute will be warmer in the summer and colder in the winter.
• This project does take place in a fast-paced, drive-thru environment with heavy traffic so it may not be right for everyone. Some accommodations can be made. Please let us know prior to signing up if you need accommodations so we can determine if this project is a good fit for you! 
• Volunteers should be comfortable standing for a 3-hour shift with minimal breaks.
• We will provide training at the beginning of the shift - no previous training or prior experience required!
