We have 2 types of volunteers. Type 1: Volunteers interview clients, add and update information to our pantry client database, A small amount of paperwork is required for client intake. Type 2: Food pantry volunteers give out bags of groceries to clients, stock pantry shelves with food and prepare food bags.
People who find themselves in a position of having no food are grateful to have a place to go to where they can get groceries to last them a few days. This is a rewarding volunteer position.
Volunteers must attend a pantry training and orientation session. Hours needed for the Delray Beach Pantry are noon-3 pm Monday through Friday. We are particularly looking for people who can work on Mondays or Wednesdays this summer.

Mission Statement
The mission of CROS Ministries is to serve the hungry in Palm Beach and Martin Counties through community collaborations.
Description
In 1978, a group of United Methodist Churches joined forces to create Christians Reaching Out to Society, Inc. or as we are known today, CROS Ministries. Over time, we evolved to become both ecumenical and interfaith, forging partnerships with various communities, schools, businesses, civic groups, government entities, and local nonprofits. Today we stand as a beacon of hope, tirelessly working on the front lines to directly benefit our brothers and sisters facing food insecurity.
Our services include distributing food from six brick and mortar food pantries in Delray Beach, Jupiter, Lake Worth Beach, West Palm Beach, Belle Glade, and Indiantown in Martin County and a mobile "pop-up" food pantry serving Greenacres (three sites), Haverhill, Lake Worth Beach, Riviera Beach, West Palm Beach, and Wellington (two sites); serving hot meals and delivering homebound meals to residents in Delray Beach through our Caring Kitchen program; and recovering fresh fruits and vegetables from local fields that are distributed with the help of community partners to local pantries and meal programs through our Gleaning program.
