New Volunteers
Spring 2020: For the health and safety of everyone, we are not able to bring in new volunteers at this time. We are hosting a Volunteer Open House on Monday May 4th! Please create your profile at the NEW VOLUNTEER tab to learn more!
Join us to experience the JOY that comes from helping others while working alongside awesome people! Our volunteer family is able to collect, sort and stock nutritious food in our market and facilitate a variety of services and programs.

Opportunities
During this time of Shelter in Place, we are operating because we are an essential service. We have greatly reduced the number of volunteers we engage each day in order to provide distance between people. We have a few openings for vols to sort or fill boxes inside, each person maintaining distance from one another. Also for those that want to work outside – see courtesy patrol.
Thank you and Be Well!

CARES Volunteers
In addition to the food market, Loaves & Fishes Community Services offers our clients a variety of programs and services. We assess their needs, make referrals and make decisions regarding emergency financial assistance. In order to effectively fulfill these responsibilities, CARES Volunteers are expected to familiarize themselves with the programs that LFCS offers on-site, along with the variety of community organizations, government programs, and social service agencies that serve the residents of our area. CARES Volunteers generally work with clients for 30-60 minutes at a time. A weekly commitment is desired. Volunteers also participate in monthly meetings, occasional training workshops and community luncheons.
