The Salvation Army is addressing the 44 square miles of food deserts in Wichita. They will be focusing their efforts on three neighborhoods that are most in need and will be heading out with a mobile food pantry four times a week, from Monday through Thursday. The mobile food pantry will provide people healthy, nutritious foods at no cost. Two volunteers are needed per day-one who will help to drive the unit and the other who will help to distribute food. A Case Manager will also be present. Volunteers will meet at Salvation Army (350 N. Market) at 1:30 PM, help to load the vehicle, go to the assigned site, operate the pantry, and return by 6:30 PM. Training will be provided! You can volunteer as much or as little as you’d like.
RSVP volunteers receive excess medical, excess auto, and volunteer liability insurance. Volunteers that drive over 71 miles in a month are also eligible to receive gas mileage reimbursement.

The RSVP Volunteer Program invites adults age 55 and over to use their life experience and skills to help older adults and strengthen our community in Sedgwick County. Volunteers give their time to support programming that reduces social isolation among older adults and provide nutritional support, among many other activities and initiatives. RSVP volunteers also improve and enhance the quality of the community organizations they serve. With RSVP, volunteers will receive appreciation gifts, recognition events, and may also qualify for the President's Volunteer Service Award. Active volunteers receive volunteer liability, excess automobile, and excess medical insurance to, from, and while volunteering.
