Food Pantry Assistant @ Jan Pruitt Pantry
Details
Description
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:
