Senior Mobile Food Pantries are a partnership between Harvesters and nonprofit organizations providing social services to seniors living in low to moderate income housing communities. Our mobile food pantry bus delivers fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products and bread the first Tuesday and each Friday of the month. We deliver to seniors that are homebound, living on small fixed incomes, and have limited access to grocery stores. This program helps them continue to lead healthy and independent lives. Volunteers will help load the bus and then provide assistance to clients as they go through the mobile food pantry.
Senior Mobile Food Pantry Service Hours:
First Tuesday of the month - 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. | Every Friday - 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
More opportunities with Harvesters - The Community Food Network
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
