Anyone can be a volunteer! Food pantry volunteers ages 8 to 15 must be accompanied by an adult while volunteering at our 3 sites. If volunteers are over the age of 16 they do not need to be accompanied by an adult.
Please wear closed toed and comfortable shoes. Also, dress according to the weather as some mobile events are outdoors.
Volunteers can be asked to do many different tasks including packing bags, restocking shelves, breaking down boxes, scanning QR codes, intake or registration and cleaning up the site. Please watch our volunteer videos to better understand what you will be asked to do at our different pantries.
