CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS! We are currently seeking 2 to 3 dedicated volunteers to help support our food pantry operations. Volunteers would commit to once-a-week, approximately 2-3 hours of assistance with restocking, organizing, and cleaning the pantry to ensure it remains accessible and welcoming for our clients.

Volunteers may also occasionally assist with food pickup from our community partners. These pickups typically occur once or twice a month. Our greatest need for volunteers is during the first and last weeks of the month, when restocking and organization are at their highest.

If you are interested in volunteering with us, please reach out to Rachel Hansen, Director of Client Services, at [email protected] or 260-744-1144.
