PORCH Student Ambassadors are the heart of our success! Each month you will mobilize your neighbors to ensure local food pantries are stocked with items most needed by the community. We provide a proven model and the support needed to have an impact in as little as 3 hours a month.
PORCH makes it easy for any student to fight hunger in their home or college town. By bringing awareness of food insecurity to the community and mobilizing a food drive, students help identify potential neighbors to help create a sustainable hunger relief program. Our Student Ambassadors are a critical link in helping get PORCH neighborhoods started.
As a Student Ambassador you will:
- Spread the word about PORCH using word of mouth, social media, email, etc.
- Collaborate with your local pantry to understand their specific food needs
- Encourage your neighbors to donate a bag of non-perishable food each month
- Deliver the collected food to your food pantry and thank your wonderful neighbors
- Report your results to PORCH and share lessons learned to build a stronger PORCH community
We're looking for Student Ambassadors in Zebulon, Garner, Fuquay-Varina, Apex, Cary, Wendell, Knightdale, Wake Forest, Raleigh, Holly Springs, and in Wake, Johnston, and Chatham counties to amplify their impact and work together to provide Zebulon UMC and other pantries a steady stream of food every month.
