Food Shelf Volunteers

"Being hungry does terrible things to one's self-esteem," according to a former client of Family Pathways Food Shelves.

A volunteer at the food Shelves says: "People ask me why I volunteer at the food shelf.  I am retired and need something to do and it is a way for me to help others.  A win/win situation.  I can work a 3 hour shift and still enjoy my retirement.  Young families that come in for assistance like a smile and a little reassurance from an older person and I like those smiles in return.  The sharing and learning goes both ways."

Food Shelves and Advocacy programs help provide families with the tools they need to gain footing in rocky realities.  Food Shelf volunteers are the critical link in providing friendly, confidential assistance to those often shy about asking for help.

Caring, discreet volunteers are needed to greet and assist clients, pack food, stock shelves, and help with data management.  Volunteers are also needed to provide confidential telephone follow-up services and data entry.
