EZRA's Food & Hygiene Pantry operates with a client-choice model, allowing clients to select their own groceries every week. The pantry distributes more than 3,000 food bags and 1,500 hygiene bags a year, and we're always looking for volunteers to help our pantry continue to run smoothly.
Availability Wednesday or Thursday Afternoon is necessary.
We ask that our pantry volunteers try to make a commitment of one shift per month, for three months. These shifts last no more than 2 hours. Of course, we encourage volunteers to continue with us if they enjoy volunteering at EZRA!
Volunteers attend a brief pantry orientation prior to volunteering. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early for your 1st shift.
You can call Peyton Scott at 773.467.3851 to sign up over the phone, or simply click "I want to help" above, and we'll reach out to you!
