    Description

    Our organization is entirely volunteer-run and directly supports the food security of the Teller Elementary School community in Denver's Congress Park neighborhood. Volunteer shifts are typically just an hour long, and may consist of stocking and cleaning, assisting Pantry visitors while the Pantry is open, or doing food pickup and delivery.

    Location

    On-site

    Teller Elementary School

    1150 Garfield St, Denver, CO 80206, USA
    Directions

    Volunteers should enter through the front door of the school.

    How to Volunteer for This Opportunity

    While Teller Pantry Friends is a separate 501c3 organization, we are located within Teller Elementary School, and so all volunteers are required to complete a free background check, and fill out a volunteer form with the school. Once those are complete, potential volunteers can view and sign up for opportunities here. Opportunities consist of stocking and staffing the Pantry, doing food pickups, or occasional cleaning and maintenance.
