Rainbow Community Development Center is an all-volunteer organization. The goal of the food pantry is to reduce hunger; provide food from all 5 food groups to help maintain a healthier lifestyle. Many low-income families can’t provide fresh produce and dairy products, essential to the well-being of children especially. We serve thousands of families every week, working in partnership with many other food providers to help families in need.
Adult volunteers are needed Tuesdays and some Saturdays to help with unloading trucks, moving pallets, stocking shelves, and packing bags of food for distribution, and moving food carts from the packing area to the warehouse.
Safety protocols required: Must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination. Social distancing and masks are also required.
Background Check: Our volunteers must pass a background check before we can schedule them.
The typical need is for 4 volunteers to work in 3-hour shifts between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Volunteers will unload trucks, move pallets, stock shelves, pack bags of food, and move food carts from the food packing area to the warehouse. Some volunteers need to be able to lift 50 pounds, others for stocking shelves and packing bags won't need that.
2nd and 4th Saturdays: Typical need is for volunteers to work between 9:00 AM and Noon. Volunteers will move food carts from the food packing area to the warehouse.
