Volunteer Guidelines

VOLUNTEER RESPONSIBILITIES AND GUIDELINES

Volunteers should be at the food pantry by 12:50 pm to be ready to serve clients at 1:00 p.m.
Volunteers collect and bag food items that clients have requested. IMPORTANT - Follow distribution amounts shown on signs posted. If you have any questions regarding amounts, please see the Pantry Administrator.
Between bagging items for clients volunteers should restock shelves. If you don’t know what to restock, ask the Pantry Administrator.
Receive, sort and stock incoming donations. Check and follow ‘use by’ dates. Dispose of food/donations per guidelines. See warehouse poster or use the Foodkeeper App to find expiration dates.
Notify Pantry Administrator if we are low on any food items.
Restock freezers as needed.
Leave the Food Pantry stocked and ready for the next shift before leaving at the end of your shift.
Must be able to lift 15 lbs. and assist with restocking the pantry as needed. Able to walk/be on your feet for extended periods of time. Wear closed toe and comfortable shoes.

Be on the lookout for new volunteers and direct anyone interested to the Pantry Administrator.

Have any ideas that might help the Food Pantry run smoothly or more efficiently? Pass ideas along to Pantry Administrator.

The Food Pantry Administrator sends out a work schedule prior to the start of each month. Let the Administrator know as soon as possible if your schedule changes and you are unable to work at the assigned time.

Optional: Download the USDA Foodkeeper App to help with determining if or how long items can be kept after expiration dates.

“The FoodKeeper helps you understand food and beverages storage. It will help you maximize the freshness and quality of items. By doing so you will be able to keep items fresh longer than if they were not stored properly. It was developed by the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, with Cornell University and the Food Marketing Institute. It is also available as a mobile application for Android and Apple devices.”

General Volunteers are scheduled to work at the Food Pantry approximately one afternoon from 1-5 p.m. each month. Please see Volunteer Guidelines.
