Join us in bringing fresh, nutritious food directly to communities in need! As a Mobile Pantry Volunteer, you’ll play a hands-on role in setting up, distributing food, and engaging with clients in an outdoor environment. This is a rewarding opportunity for individuals who enjoy being active, working with others, and making a tangible difference in their community.
Volunteer Responsibilities:
Site Setup & Cleanup: Assist with setting up tables and organizing food items for distribution. At the end of the shift, help break down and clean up.
Food Distribution: Hand food items directly to clients as they shop the mobile market, ensuring a smooth and respectful experience.
Client Engagement: Greet clients warmly, provide directions, and help create a welcoming, supportive environment.
Support Tasks: Depending on the location, volunteers may assist with managing lines, directing traffic, or helping with registration.
What to Expect:
Arrival & Check-In: Volunteers should arrive 10 minutes early (7:35am) to check in, receive a brief orientation, and get assigned their role.
Parking: The parking lot at the school is reserved for our volunteers. Please look for the driveway to the left side of the entrance where the cones are. Move the cones and pull your car through, then remember to move the cones back in place.
Outdoor Setting: Mobile pantries take place outdoors (unless otherwise noted), so please dress for the weather.
Physical Activity: Expect to be on your feet, lifting up to 25 lbs. Be prepared to stand for extended periods.
Time Commitment: Shifts typically last around 2 to 2.5 hours.
Positive Attitude: Courtesy, flexibility, and a helpful spirit are key to a successful experience for everyone involved.
Make an Impact. Serve with Purpose.
Your time and energy help ensure families in our community have access to the food they need. Whether it’s your first time volunteering or you’re a regular, we’re grateful to have you on the team!
