    Description

    As a volunteer at Catholic Charities’ Yawkey Food Pantry, your role will include restocking pantry shelves, helping with product selection, preparing bags for distribution, client intake, some light cleaning, and helping lift and transport light to moderately-heavy items. The Yawkey Food Pantry serves many Hispanic, Haitian, and Cape Verdean clients, so language skills in these areas are highly desired.

    Parking at this site is extremely limited, and we encourage volunteers to use MBTA whenever possible. If you drive, we ask that you please do not park in the building's lot during business hours.

    Comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes are encouraged, as volunteers sometimes work outside. Gloves will be provided, if needed. Upon arrival, please ring the doorbell of the front door and ask for the food pantry team at the front desk.

    Thank you. We look forward to meeting you!
