Volunteer Opportunities
Intake
Intake volunteers assist pantry clients by helping them complete the required documentation, providing referrals, guiding them through the shopping room, and stocking the pantry as needed. Intake volunteers also assist with data entry. This opportunity is great for someone with excellent customer service, computer and communication skills!
Leaders
Lead volunteers are individuals who have served in the capacity of an intake volunteer for at least one semester. They assist the Food Pantry Coordinator with training new volunteers. Lead volunteers will also assist in planning events on campus such as donation drives, fundraisers and may staff an informational table at on-campus fairs.
