Volunteer Needs From: United Way of Marathon County

(Please note: This is a weekly recurring shift on Mondays from 10-12:45, Tuesdays from 2-4:45 or Thursdays from 8:30-11:15.)

Make a difference by helping others shop for essential groceries and keeping our pantry shelves stocked and ready to serve the community! Great for people looking for group atmosphere. These positions work with other volunteers to make sure our clients have access to whatever they may need – non-perishable items, hygiene products, meat, produce, dairy and baked goods. These volunteers would be comfortable answering questions and providing guidance for navigating the pantry. Some lifting and reaching may be required, although we all share the load.

Be the friendly face that greets our clients, checks them in with ease, and helps create a warm, welcoming experience at the pantry! This position is great for someone who is familiar with a computer or an iPad. The volunteer helps get information for new clients entered into our database and checks in and/or updates existing ones. Occasionally the volunteer also asks for feedback and/or administers surveys or offers information on other local assistance.

Deliver Food and Hope! As a Community Care Courier, you'll be the friendly face delivering groceries to food pantry clients who have difficulty getting a ride to the pantry, especially in the colder months. Your role is more than just delivery—it's about bringing a little extra kindness and ensuring that neighbors in need have access to nutritious food with a smile. You'll be a vital link between the pantry and the community, helping to make a real difference in people's lives. Delivery drivers will be a part of a team and will have access to the CCH transport van, or be reimbursed at the federal charitable rate. Must be 18 or older to volunteer. All drivers must have a valid license. Scheduling is flexible and can be adjusted in the event of inclement weather.
