Gladden Food Pantry is the 3rd largest pantry in Central Ohio serving up to 1,000 households each month! Our pantry is run with only 3 part-time staff members so we rely heavily on volunteer support to help us serve our community. One of the many services the Gladden Food Pantry provides is home deliveries to seniors and disabled residents who are unable to come to our pantry on their own accord. Every Friday we make approximately 25 home deliveries are made between 9am and 12pm. We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to make deliveries one Friday a month or one Friday every other month. Volunteers could commit to the a.m. deliveries or the p.m. deliveries or both. Volunteers would be asked to use their own transportation and their own GPS capabilities to help us make these deliveries. Age Requirements: 18 - Accommodations can be made for Ages 15-17 but the child MUST be with the legal guardian and the guardian must drive both parties. Wavier must be signed. Due to the COVID-19 Crisis : We are not currently requiring seniors to sign for their box, however a resident has to be home in order to accept the box. Boxes are being delivered to porches. *Gladden Food Pantry cannot accept/verify volunteers who are needing to fulfill court-ordered community service hours.* **Volunteers are encouraged to bring your own mask, Gladden has limited masks available.** Gladden can provide gloves.

Gladden Community House runs one of Central Ohio's largest pantries. We typically serve up to 1,000 families a month. With the high demand for food comes the need of helping hands! Volunteers will check clients in and enter client information into an electronic database (if the volunteer is willing and able to work with computers). We are seeking help anytime Monday through Friday, 11am-3pm. We are flexible and will work with your schedule! Ideally we would like volunteers who would be able to commit to coming at the same time each week for just a couple hours a week. This is an excellent way to get to know members of the Franklinton community while helping us provide people with basic needs! *Gladden Food Pantry cannot accept/verify volunteers who are needing to fulfill court-ordered community service hours.* **Volunteers are encouraged to bring your own mask, Gladden has limited masks available.** Gladden can provide gloves.

Have experience with fixing things? Want to share your talents with those in need? We are looking for volunteers with home repair experience to complete home repairs for some of the seniors in the Franklinton Community. People with experience fixing broken windows/doors, basic plumbing, basic electric, and other types of home repairs would be most helpful (you don't need to know how to do all of these things, we would be matching volunteers with a project that would fit their skill set.) Volunteers WOULD NOT be paying for the items necessary to complete the repairs, only volunteering their time to complete the repair from beginning to end. Volunteer hours would be on an "as needed" basis and we can work around your schedule as long as your availability is convenient for our seniors!
