The Loop Ministries Food Pantry is open every Tues/Thurs between 10am-noon. We are seeking volunteers willing to start at 9:30AM to assist with set up.
Volunteers move pre-packed bags of groceries from the supply area to the distribution area, load them onto carts, wheel them to clients cars or loading area if they are walking or biking.
Depending on one's place in the "assembly line" this volunteer opportunity can involve carrying up to 20 lb. grocery bags short distances of several feet, lifting bags onto and off of carts, and wheeling carts outside in all Rochester weather conditions.
Despite the "normalization" of post-Covid life, hunger in Rochester continues to be severe, and your help is truly appreciated. Team comradery makes this an enriching time, tasks accomplished are very fulfilling, and the gratefulness expressed by pantry visitors for the food given is tremendously rewarding.
