The Pantry benefits from food drives conducted by local organizations, businesses, churches and synagogues that generate non-perishable food and household items that are distributed to our neighbors in need. If your group would like to organize a food drive, please contact us.
Some examples of available volunteer opportunities working with children and adults with disabilities: arts & crafts, horticulture, digital photography, teen peer mentors, musicians, technology tutors, help repair adaptive equipment, woodworking, Special Olympic coaches and unified partners, teach a dance class, join participants during outings in the community, and workout companions needed.
Saturday volunteers commit to working one Saturday a month. Help is needed for the following volunteer positions: Adults to escort clients through the pantry to shop 7:55-11 am, Youth volunteers (age 12 and above) to help clients carry bags 8-11 am, Pre-shopping set up 6:45-8 am, Post-shopping clean up 10:30-11:15am.
The Pantry depends on volunteers to pick up food from local stores and also to help deliver food to the homes of clients with disabilities. In addition, we also distribute food to other community pantry organizations based on need.
We need volunteers throughout the week to sort food, stock shelves in the warehouse and pantry and help prepare the pantry for “shoppers” on Saturday mornings. Stocking and sorting volunteers must be able to lift 50lbs.
