Volunteer

We are looking for folks who are eager to learn more about increasing food accessibility. No experience necessary!

Volunteers provide assistance in three main areas:

• Preparing food for distribution (unloading deliveries, repackaging donations/bulk items)
• Preparing the pantry space for distribution (cleaning food storage bins, organizing food storage areas)
• Assisting in food distribution (stocking food on shelves, assisting patrons at the front desk)

Each shift is a little bit different! One day you might be labeling and packaging donations while another day you are stocking shelves.

Volunteers commit to a weekly two hour volunteer shift for the duration of the term to support consistency in pantry operations.

Fill out our volunteer interest form and a pantry staff member will reach out with more information on the scheduling and onboarding process. Email pantryoperations@pdx.edu with questions.
