Help Seniors Access Fresh Food

ORGANIZATION: Phoenix Family

More than 30% of families living below the poverty line experience food insecurity. At Phoenix Family, we’re working to change that-and we need you to make it possible.

Each month, we bring fresh groceries and essential pantry staples directly to affordable housing communities through our Mobile Food Pantry and Senior Produce Delivery. By meeting people where they live, we remove transportation barriers and ensure everyone has access to the nutritious food they deserve.

As a volunteer, you’ll help with tasks like:

  • Unpacking the food delivery truck
  • Counting and sorting fresh and shelf-stable items
  • Stocking pantry shelves so residents can shop with dignity
  • Assembling produce boxes and delivering them right to seniors’ doors
  • Updating the order form in Excel to keep everything organized
  • Assisting with cleanup (breaking down boxes, taking out trash, etc.)

This is a perfect opportunity if you love organizing, enjoy working with a team, and want to make a direct, meaningful impact in your community. Some lifting is required, but the reward is knowing you’re helping neighbors access the healthy meals they need to thrive.

Sign up today and be a part of building a hunger-free future-one box at a time!

Mission Statement

Phoenix Family empowers people living in low-income housing communities with the on-site support they need to gain stability and achieve self-sufficiency.

Description

A stable, safe home holds enormous possibilities for a low-income family striving to chart a more secure and hopeful future. With an average household income of just $11,743, Phoenix Family’s residents are often just one crisis away from becoming homeless. And, like millions of low-income individuals across the United States, they need more than housing to build personal and financial assets and overcome barriers to success - they also require services where they live.

Volunteers are vital in helping Phoenix Family reach our mission of helping people and changing lives. Last year, we received support from more than 350 volunteers, but even this is not enough to meet all the needs in our community. Whether you are looking for a seasonal or regular opportunity as an individual or a group, Phoenix Family offers a variety of volunteer opportunities to help our community.

Phoenix Family’s Youth Development, Families First and Senior Empowerment Programs provide those critical on-site services that help residents learn skills and gain perspectives that keep dreams of stability and hope realities for the future.

Phoenix Family’s staff and programs rely on trust, rapport, choice and convenience to engage residents in services. All services delivered are culturally appropriate and based on the desired outcomes of residents, including increased disposable income, increased educational levels, improved health, and strengthened social networks.
