FOOD: Help Organize a Food Pantry
Porchlight Community Services offers a market-style shopping experience for their clients. Their Refill Pantry supports the elimination of single use plastic and they divert thousands of pounds of food from going to the landfill yearly.
As a volunteer, you will help with sorting shelf stable items, checking expiration dates, helping dehydrate food, riding along in the company van to help load and unload food donations, making occasional trips to their storage unit for organization, and picking up items to be brought back to the pantry.
