    Description

    Food Pantry Assistant @ Jan Pruitt Pantry

    At our Lancaster pantry, families are invited inside to shop for the groceries that best fit their needs and preferences. Unlike pre-packed food distributions, this client choice model lets individuals select their own items just like at a grocery store. This approach gives families more control over their food, helps reduce waste, and ensures everyone leaves with food they’ll actually use and enjoy.

    Volunteers may:

    • Assist clients as they shop for groceries.
    • Check in and schedule client appointments
    • Restock food items and keep pantry areas organized.
    • Bag produce and pantry items for distribution.

    Dress Code: Closed-toe shoes required (no sandals or flip-flops). Comfortable, season-appropriate clothing recommended.

    Age Requirements:

    • Minimum age: 14
    • Volunteers 14-17 must be accompanied by a parent or adult chaperone

    The Jan Pruitt Community Pantry is located at:

    123 Alexander Ave, Lancaster, TX 75146

    Days & Time:

    Tuesday - Saturday

    Dress code:

    Comfortable & casual (tennis shoes), dress for the weather
