You can be a hunger hero! Our Mobile Pantry program regularly sets up food distributions where as many as 300 people come and select food to take home.
We collect data at each distribution for our Client Information Management System (CIMS). This helps us determine quantity, areas where residents are most likely to need food assistance, and if our programs are operating efficiently. As one of the first representatives that visitors meet, you will provide a warm welcome and be comfortable with data entry on a laptop or pen and paper.
We need 1-3 Client Registration volunteers at each site. Distributions usually happen at each site 1-2 times per month. It works best if a volunteer can commit to registration at a specific site(s) for 3-6 months. There are several locations and times available.
Registration will take 2-4 hours, depending on site. Set up and breakdown of computer equipment is needed.
Please email sellis@allfaithsfoodbank.org for more information on sites/dates/times.

Description
The All Faiths Food Bank is a network of people working together 365 days a year to fight hunger throughout Sarasota and DeSoto counties.
The All Faiths Food Bank distributes approximately 2.5 million pounds of food a year through its not-for-profit agency partners who operate feeding/hunger relief programs in the two counties. That's equivalent to 166,000 meals per month.
Volunteers process and store food solicited from the community at the Food Bank's 20,000 square-foot warehouse on Cattlemen Road in Sarasota. Every can and box of food is sorted and checked by experienced volunteers. Using food bank trucks, All Faiths Food Bank then distributes supplies to not for profit agencies offering hunger relief in Sarasota and DeSoto counties.
