Volunteer with us at Food Club! Food Club is a membership-based grocery store that provides choice, flexibility, and access to healthy foods along with membership perks and support at the Opportunity Hub. The current food system is divided with no middle ground: limited free food for some and full price for others. The Food Club model is a big, systemic response focused on improving healthy food access in a high-dignity, high-choice environment. Qualifying low-income residents opt in by purchasing a membership, which provides food access at more convenient hours, all in a bright and inviting grocery-store style space staffed by volunteers. Food Club invites qualifying low-income residents to take ownership and contribute at a level based on their income, offering a highly affordable way for members to invest in their family’s health and future. For a small monthly fee, members get points based on household size to spend on groceries as they wish throughout the month. Volunteers are an enormous part of the daily operations at Food Club. Additional volunteers are needed to ensure we can provide the best possible service to our neighbors in need, for expanded hours of service. We are specifically seeking volunteers in the following positions, during the following times:
- Checkout volunteers (*training provided!) on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 5-7pm
- Checkout volunteers (*training provided!) on Saturdays from 10am-12pm and 12-2pm
- Produce checkers on Saturdays from 10am-12pm and 12-2pm

Description
Community Action House is a non-profit organization committed to breaking the cycle of poverty in the greater Holland, Michigan area and surrounding Ottawa County. For nearly 50 years, we've been serving the community helping families prosper- with food, clothing, education, opportunity, and hope. As a community powered nonprofit, we are what our community chooses to do together!
You can volunteer at our Food Club, helping local families achieve food security, at our Community Kitchen, serving up warm food and friendly faces everyday of the week, at our Resale Store, refurbishing used items to find new homes and support our programs, with our Lakeshore Food Rescue program, turning excess food into food access, or at the Holland Community Garden, working to grow food that goes directly to our neighbors.
