Brockton Food Pantry Volunteer

As a volunteer at Catholic Charities’ Brockton Food Pantry, your primary role will be to compassionately render distribution of food items to the clients in our pantry, while maintaining person and professional boundaries. This may 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. Volunteers are asked to display sensitivity to the needs of individuals and families experiencing financial hardships, mental illness, trauma, and those from varied cultural backgrounds. Client confidentiality is necessary as well. The Brockton Food Pantry serves many Hispanic, Haitian, and Cape Verdean clients, so volunteers with language skills in these areas are highly desired.

Parking at this site is available in the lot beside the pantry. We ask that you leave the spaces closest to the building for clients.

Comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes are encouraged, as volunteers may 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.

You must be CORI background checked before your first shift.
