At the Essential Needs Center we have an array of different volunteer opportunities. Here we house the Interfaith Works Clothing Center and Food Pantry. Most of our volunteers help us at the clothing center by sorting and hanging clothes and organizing items in our HomeGoods and Book sections. While our staff mainly manages the food pantry, sometimes we do have volunteers helping restock and organize items. We also often will have special projects throughout the year such as our annual back pack distribution, holiday giveaways, and assistance with preparing for outreach distributions.

To volunteer with us, we require all new volunteers to sign up for orientation. Orientation is offered on Wednesdays from 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM and Saturdays from 8:30 AM - 10:30 AM. Once you have completed the orientation you can schedule your volunteer dates and times.
