Serve the hungry from a mobile pantry by providing the many people who are unable to reach a community foodbank with this invaluable service.

Volunteers are needed to assist with the following tasks:

  • Set up and take down of the operation.

  • Help the food bank driver and two Mobile Pantry Managers by unloading tables from the food bank truck.

  • Set up the tables and pallets of food onto the tables. This includes cases of canned food from the Federal government; fresh produce, bread, juices and other food items suitable for families in need.

Volunteers should be able to stand, lift boxes and move about during the distribution.

Mission Statement

As a leader in volunteerism in New Jersey, Jersey Cares increases the level of meaningful volunteer engagement by creating and managing efficient, impactful projects that address critical community-identified needs.

Description

Jersey Cares works to meet community needs by making volunteering easy and meaningful. We provide flexible, structured, team-based opportunities for volunteers to impact a variety of nonprofit organizations and bring positive change to local communities. Jersey Cares works directly with local organizations to identify their needs, and trains volunteer leaders to manage projects that address those needs. Most projects are ongoing, and volunteers (other than the Project Coordinators) commit to only one day at a time. All of this enables you to volunteer whenever and however fits your interests and schedule, and yet always make a real difference. Simply choose "Volunteer" from the left menu to get started on your volunteering adventure!
