General Volunteer Information

Volunteers are an essential part of our operation. More than 5,200 volunteers contributed nearly 16,000 hours of their time in fiscal year 2007-08 to support our mission to reduce hunger.

God’s Pantry Food Bank depends on volunteers to staff pantry sites, sort donated food items, repack salvageable food, help with mailings, take referrals for clients in need of food assistance, help at Kids Cafe locations, assist with our annual Client Survey, pack food and deliver Mobile Pantry boxes to other counties, and support special events.

There are a number of ways to get involved. If you are a teenager looking to complete service hours for your school or church, check out information on our Teen Nights below. Family nights are a great way for individual families to come together in a night of service. These nights are held every other month and are listed below.

If neither of our pre-scheduled evenings meet your needs, you can also put together your own volunteer group and schedule a time to come out and help. Groups of 10 or more can schedule a 1.5-2 hour time block in the evening or on Saturday mornings to volunteer.

Any group is welcome, including church youth groups, Sunday school groups, Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops, social clubs, etc. Call Mandy at 859-288-5324 to schedule your group. Scheduling is based on a first-come, first-served basis and after-hours opportunities fill up quickly. Groups with children 18 and under must have adult chaperones participating.

Families with kids age five or older are encouraged to volunteer in our warehouse to sort food, clean, wash barrels, paint or whatever else needs to be done. Space is very limited and you must register in advance by calling us at 859-288-5324. Contact: Mandy Brajuha, External Relations Coordinator.
