St. James Food Pantry is now a full-choice pantry! We are welcoming clients to come in and choose the items that they need. We are currently serving about 100 clients per day for groceries in the morning, and welcome 30 to 50 guests for lunch in the afternoon.
We're in need help for almost all of our shifts. Tasks include unloading food shipments, preparing bags for our senior and home delivery program, assisting pantry clients with their shopping experience, restocking shelves, preparing food for lunch, and serving our lunch guests.
