What to expect your first time here…
You can expect to make a difference!
Arrival time and getting onboard…
If it's your first time volunteering at the pantry, please arrive 15 minutes early. When you arrive, please stop in the volunteer room to sign-in, and make a name-tag with your first name. You can find the volunteer room in the northwest-most corner of the building in the back of the Storeroom. For directions, please ask a Pantry Manager, Volunteer Leader or another volunteer.
A Pantry Manager will then give you a tour and an overview of the organization.
The first 30 minutes of service is for stocking and preparing the pantry for distribution. This involves putting food on shelves, clearing, and general organization to ensure the pantry is neat and welcoming for our neighbors.
Before distribution begins, we will have a Launch Meeting. During this time, roles will be assigned and additional information related to the distribution will be provided.
During distribution, you will work in your assigned role, directing any questions or concerns to the Volunteer Leader or Pantry Manager.
After distribution, we will clean/organize the pantry for our next distribution.
We look forward to serving with you!
