Volunteer
Welcome!
Loaves & Fishes depends on
committed people
like you
to
meet
our
mission
of
ending
hunger in our
community.
Our Guidelines
1. All volunteers (with the exception of Teen Time and specially
scheduled work groups)
must attend an orientation session.
2. All volunteers must complete an application.
Age Requirements
On-site:
Because we want to ensure volunteering is safe and enjoyable for
all, the minimum age for
volunteers on-site in the pantry is 18 years of age.
Unfortunately, we cannot make exceptions
for volunteers younger than high school at our location. Any
questions regarding exceptions
will be referred back to our
Younger than 14 list.
Teen Time at the pantry:
High school
age volunteers (age 14-18) may volunteer at the pantry warehouse during Teen Time
only*:
- Mondays, 3:30 to 5 p.m.
- Tuesdays, 3:30 to 5 p.m.
*You do not need to attend an orientation,
but you must pre-register to
volunteer at Teen Time.
Off-site:
Age
restrictions do not apply to home deliveries or certain
work outside
of the pantry.
