Food Pantry Volunteer Role

 

Volunteers answer the door, welcome clients, check identification and verify addresses. During November to April, volunteers also help prepare food bags. During May to October, volunteers support our “Client Choice” Program, where clients have the opportunity to create their own custom food bags by choosing foods they like from our pantry.
