Food Pantry Volunteer

The Loop Ministries Food Pantry is open every Tues/Thurs between 10am-noon. We are seeking volunteers willing to start at 9:00AM to assist with set up. Volunteers help set up the physical panty with tables, signage and supplies. They load coolers with perishale items that will be distributed that day. Volunteers move pre-packed bags of groceries from the supply area to the distribution area, load them onto carts, wheel them to clients cars or loading area if they are walking or biking. This volunteer opportunity will involve carrying up to 15 lb. grocery bags short distances of several feet, lifting bags onto and off of carts, and wheeling carts outside in all Rochester weather conditions. We are also in need of Spanish speaking volunteers or interpreters. Hunger in Rochester continues to be severe, and your help is truly appreciated. Team comradery makes this an enriching time, tasks accomplished are very fulfilling, and the gratefulness expressed by pantry visitors for the food given is tremendously rewarding.
