We strive to provide healthy food and groceries to all in need. There are a variety of ways to volunteer and you can find all the details here.
Do you have a welcoming smile and an open heart? Welcome visitors, explain how the pantry works, answer questions, and assist visitors as needed.
Help while we're open to the public for shopping. Volunteers will do a variety of tasks including checking shoppers in and out, stocking, and minor cleaning at the end of the shift.
Volunteer as one of our drivers and drive around Waconia picking up food donations from community partners and delivering them to the Food Shelf warehouse.
After you get back with the donations, you will weigh the items and help put the cold/perishable donations away.
Valid driver's license and car insurance required.
