More and more members of our community need help keeping food on the table for their families. Be part of a team that provides a dignified and respectful shopping experience for guests accessing the WayForward Resources food pantry by:

  • Warmly welcoming food pantry guests, explaining the pantry flow, and offering assistance, as needed
  • Assist with other Food Pantry tasks, as needed and as time allows

The ideal volunteer will be available for a minimum of one weekly volunteer shift for at least 6 months or as a substitute for regularly scheduled volunteers. Of course, this is with the understanding that a volunteer may need flexibility for vacation, sickness, appointments, etc.

Volunteers shifts are available Tuesday through Saturday for volunteers aged 18 and above.

For more information, check out the WayForward website at wayforwardresources.org and fill out a volunteer inquiry form or contact Pam Higham at pam@wayforwardresources.org or 608.826.3409.

Housing Stability

  • We provide case management, referrals, and housing stability assistance.
