Lend a Hand at a Local Food Pantry

Save to Favorites

Our pantry team daily schedule is from 9:00am-12;00pm give or take. Our drivers and loaders usually arrive earlier (some as early as 6:30, some not until 7:30, but we can work with people too!) for food pickups and stay until roughly 12:00, but some need to leave earlier and we work with most schedules. Those drivers that are delivering are usually done by 12:30 as well. We are flexible and easy to work with. We encourage people to check us out and try some time with us to determine if we are a good fit and which role or days to participate work for them!
