Food Pantry & Community Dining Room Volunteering(Part of the Solution)

Come on down to make new friends, or grab a couple and bring them with you to POTS to show support in our Food Pantry and Community Dining Room!

Each afternoon, volunteers help our staff serve hundreds of meals to our community. Tasks may include prepping plates, serving meals, washing dishes, or bagging other food items to prepare for the next day. You might also be asked to take out the garbage and/or move heavy boxes. Due to an exciting expansion project at our Webster location, our Community Dining Room will be providing meals to-go until further notice.
