Food Pantry Assistance


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 emergency 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? 
  1. Attire: Please wear closed-toned shoes as well as dress appropriately and comfortably. During warm months, it may get hot in our facility, please keep this in mind. 
  1. Bottled water will be provided to volunteers throughout their shift. Please do not hesitate to grab a bottle of water during your shift!  
  1. 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.
