Current Food Pantry "Volunteer" Needs
(most are once a month commitments)

Volunteers who are willing to pray (monthly at home) for the expressed needs of the poor;

Volunteers who can deliver food (and feel comfortable ministering in homes);

Volunteers who can assist with the physical burdens of transporting heavy boxes and helping the people to carry their food boxes and bags in line and to their vehicles;

Volunteers who are comfortable and will be available to offer or assist with prayer

Volunteers who can relieve work stations for restroom breaks and who can bring refreshments to other working volunteers (drinks, snacks, etc.);

Volunteers who transport empty boxes from one location (where they are emptied) to where the people can use them to collect their food; also remove boxes which are not recyclable and tear these down for re loading on truck; and

Volunteers (1-2) who elect to clean up the facility after the food distribution is complete (re stack chairs, vacuum carpet, etc.; primarily needed while in current facility from 5:30 or 6:00 7:00 p.m.).

While we have been pleased to be able to continue providing food to those of out community in need at our mobile food pantry; we are sure looking forward to having new facilities. Please keep us in your prayers, that the money can be raised quickly and that we will once again have a permanent home.
