Help Fight Food Insecurity
From a foundation of Christian values, The Branch helps support those in our community who face the challenge of food insecurity for their families. The work we do is ambitious and rewarding! We invite you to join with us in serving the Lord by loving our neighbors.
We distribute food to our neighbors 4 days a week, and we need volunteers to help us sort, stock, and prepare food for distribution. Below is a list of things that you could potentially be doing while at the Branch. All of these things help make the pantry run smoothly:
- Guest intake/registration
- put extra food items to prepared carts
- distribution of food to guests and cleaning empty carts
- pack USDA boxes
- pack extra donation boxes
- prepare dairy bags, meat bags, or produce bags
- check bread for freshness, valid expiration dates, and/or mold
- assemble all food items on the carts, sort and stock items from delivery trucks
- refill pantry shelves from storeroom supply
- break down boxes for recycling or stack neatly for future use
- take flattened boxes to recycling dumpster and trash to trash dumpster
- other cleaning tasks
What should we know before coming?
- Attire: Please wear closed toed shoes as well as dress appropriately and comfortably. During warm months, it may get hot in our facility, please keep this in mind.
- Bottled water will be provided to volunteers throughout their shift. Please do not hesitate to grab a bottle of water during your shift!
- If you choose to bring your own lunches, there is a refrigerator available to store them in as well as an area with tables and chairs to take a break and eat your lunch there.
- When you arrive you'll see a sign for Antioch United Methodist Church. We are co-located in that space with them. Go up the hill and park in any available parking space. Come to the second set of double doors (the first set is under the bigger awning and is for the church). Someone will be at the front and will let you in.
- The manager will assign different tasks to group members at this time. If you have a preference of what individuals would like to do, please let the manager know at that time. If you have any questions throughout your shift, do not hesitate to ask the manager.
