We are always in need of adult and youth volunteers to serve, sort and stock for the pantry. Time served at the pantry may count towards community service hours for high school and middle school students in both public and private schools. Community service clubs, sports teams, high school clubs, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and other organizations are encouraged to inquire for group projects or activities outside of the normal pantry operation. We highly encourage corporate team building and adult service groups to find a place to share their time and talent at the pantry. We are committed to serving our community and need community support on all levels. Visit our ONLINE SIGN UP for volunteer opportunities.
