Volunteer at the Community Resource Center (1585 N Rand Rd) on Thursdays from 3:30 PM to 6:15 PM to set up, register clients (training provided), distribute food, and clean up after the pantry.

Our mobile food pantry volunteers are essential to our mission. You’ll start at 2:30 PM at the main pantry, bagging produce and loading supplies into the mobile van, then drive your own vehicle to a designated apartment complex to set up and distribute food to clients until 5:00 PM. The mobile pantry runs the first four Tuesdays and the first Wednesday of each month.

Additional roles include receiving deliveries from the Greater Chicago Food Depository, stocking shelves, rotating inventory, and bagging produce. We also need help organizing donations from local residents and grocers, preparing for Saturday distribution, and picking up donations from various locations.
