TIME COMMITMENT: On-Going, once a week. Either Monday from 8:30 am - 12:30 pm OR Wednesday from 8:30 am from 12:30 pm.
DUTIES: Unloading donations, checking for expiration dates, stocking shelves, rotating donations, filling client food orders, and light cleaning/maintaining of the pantry.

Must be able to lift 20 lbs, be able to stand on concrete for extended periods of time, and be able to bend/squat. Must be able to work independently with little or no supervision.
This is a great opportunity to volunteer in pairs: husband/wife team, friends, faith based organization, or community group. This is not an opportunity for a large group as our friend pantries can accommodate 3-4 people.

Description
Johnson County Aging and Human Services needs and welcomes volunteers for programs, such as:
Food Pantries: Help Human Services staff meet the needs of low-income residents in one of three Multi-Service Centers, located in Gardner, Lenexa, and Mission. Volunteers can provide a hand in stocking the food pantry and also provide assistance with office administrative tasks.

You can choose from eight nutrition center locations to find one close to home, work, or school. Deliveries are made from approximately 10:45 am - noon. Volunteers deliver once a week as regular drivers, or when they are able as substitute drivers.
Catch-a-Ride : Through the Catch-A-Ride program, volunteers transport residents in their own vehicles to essential appointments in Johnson County. Volunteers set their own schedules.
