Ways to Get Involved
This place runs on love and donations. There are no paid staff — every person sorting cans, stocking shelves and greeting guests is a volunteer from this community. Here are three ways to join us.
Volunteer
No commitment, no minimum, no experience. Come once or come every time — just tell us you're coming so we know to expect you.
Friday Pantry Setup: 1 to 3 p.m. Help us organize and display shelf-stable foods, package cold and frozen items, and set up clothing donations in a relaxed environment before pantry day. No crowds—just an opportunity to help behind the scenes.
Saturday Pantry Day: 1:30 - 4 p.m. Assist us on pantry day by greeting guests, handing out bags, directing lines, displaying produce, monitoring shelves, distributing cold and frozen items, and helping with cleanup.
Donate
Every dollar is stretched. The stretch is getting harder.
We have no paid staff — not one. Every dollar you give becomes food on the shelves, multiplied by donated food and volunteer hours.
Two years ago it cost us $1.10 to feed one neighbor at a distribution. Today it costs $2.67. Same pantry, same volunteers, same doors — the free groceries we used to get from the food bank have shrunk, so we're buying what we used to be given.
