Volunteer

Join Us!

We couldn’t serve thousands of neighbors in need without the support of our amazing volunteers. More than 400 people volunteered at the Pantry in 2023. A total of 15,504 service hours were donated! Volunteer time is valued at $31.80 per hour. And that means the value of volunteer time donated last year was nearly $500,000! 

PLEASE NOTE:

Unfortunately, the Pantry cannot provide community service hours. The only evening the Pantry has volunteer hours is Tuesday and they are very limited. We currently have no volunteer hours available Friday - Sunday.

Check all of our Volunteer resources!

• Volunteer Registration: Get started by filling out the Volunteer Form – either online or complete the printed form and bring it to the Pantry.

• Volunteer Handbook: Explore this great resource which has information about the Pantry’s mission and history, and important details about safety and other policies. 

• Volunteer orientations: Learn about the Pantry, including our long history and the impact we are making in our communities. The 45-minute presentations, which includes a Pantry tour, are offered at two convenient times each month at the Pantry. Great opportunity for new volunteers to learn the ropes and a perfect chance for long-time volunteers to get up-to-date information on new services and procedures.
