Many members of our community are suffering from financial struggles due to the economic downturn brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. Every week our Food Pantry has to close it's doors temporarily to accommodate our food deliveries. We need you! With the help of 3-5 volunteers every Wednesday, our 2 staff members will be able to serve customers in need more quickly. Join our staff at CEO on Wednesdays to help unload deliveries from the Regional Food Bank. Volunteers will help to lift and load 500-3000 lbs of dry, fresh and frozen goods and transport the items to the Food Pantry. Volunteers must be able to lift up to 50lbs. Once the truck is unloaded, volunteers will help to stock shelves and store items in refrigerators and freezers. All efforts to help with weekly deliveries allow us to serve more families; meaning more members of the community will be able to receive the food they need!
