    Is organizing your thing? Do you want to get a light work out while helping the community? Come join us in our pantry! Help to put away, stock, and organize high quality food with a fun group of dedicated volunteers! You will play a critical role in ensuring that community members who are facing hunger will have access to healthy, fresh food and can acquire it in an organized space.

    We are currently seeking volunteers who are interested in assisting either regularly or sporadically with a Tuesday morning shift 11am-1pm, a Thursday morning shift from 11am-1pm, or Friday mornings 9am-11am. Shifts are easily visible and can be signed up for based on your schedule once you are onboarded. *Sign up for specific shifts happens on the Bloomerang Volunteer app or webpage after volunteers get connected here.

    Please note that being able to lift up to 40lbs consistently is required, as is the ability to stand continuously for the full length of the shift.
