CUMAC regularly shares food with 3,100 people each month thru our pantry and two mobile pantries. Volunteers are instrumental to making sure we feed all who come our way. They help sort and stock incoming food, as well as inventory and create bags for distribution to clients and partner agencies. This opportunity is available on weekdays, although occasional Saturday hours are available.
CUMAC continues to feed record numbers of food insecure households, we absolutely couldn't help all who come our way without the incredible volunteers who work to make it happen. This project is great for individuals and groups! Join our network of over 2,500 volunteers to feed people and change lives!
