ORGANIZATION: New Seed Pantry

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 4 people are interested

The Client Specialist will work directly with those seeking services of the New Seed Food
Pantry. Our clients range from:

  • Recently displaced or reduced income to the unhoused (including those experiencing mental health or substance use issues).
  • Clients who have migrated to the US and do not speak English.
The Client Specialist will need to exercise respectfulness, compassion and patience while assisting the clients as they select their items. We are family friendly towards volunteers who would like to bring their children.

Even though we operate inside of a church building, we do not and are not allowed to "preach" to or force our religious beliefs on our volunteers or clients in any way.

Computer skills and fluent bilingual speakers (i.e. Chinese, Mandarin. Korean, Spanish and Russian) are greatly needed, but not required.
