Save to Favorites

We are seeking volunteers who can ideally make an ongoing weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly commitment at our food pantry at Marillac St. Vincent Family Services' St. Vincent DePaul Center in Lincoln Park.

3-5 volunteers needed on Tuesdays & Thursdays 9:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. to help with our neighbor-shopping days at our Lincoln Park location. Volunteers set up the store, greet and welcome shoppers, assistwith registration, accompany shoppers through the food sections, and restock/clean/assist with projects as needed.

2-3 volunteers needed weekly on Fridays 10:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. to help receive, unload, and organize our deliveries from the Greater Chicago Food Depository. (This is a non-participant-facing role.) Depending on the size of the delivery and the number of volunteers, end time may be earlier than 1:00 p.m.

Volunteers should be able to stand/be on their feet for 3 hours at a time, lift/carry at least 15-20 lbs., reach at/above shoulder height, bend/reach from the waist. We are looking for people who enjoy being part of a team, collaborating, have a "customer service" attitude, respect the dignity of those in vulnerable or insecure positions, and will support our mission to strengthen, empower and amplify the voices of those in need, as we help every child, every person, every family to thrive.
