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.
Can't wait to get into the office? Create a positive Food Shelf experience by completing behind-the-scenes tasks as a member of our amazing Volunteer Squad. Tasks include filing, data entry, record keeping and other administrative tasks.
Ready to do the heavy lifting? Join us in the stockroom to receive and sort donations, track inventory, restock main floor shelves and clean up to maintain an organized and safe environment.
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.
Do you have a welcoming smile and an open heart? Welcome visitors, explain how the pantry works, answer questions, and assist visitors as needed.
All hands on deck! Help behind-the-scenes at various events to raise awareness of food insecurity in our community.
Don't mind delivering groceries to doorsteps? We delivery groceries to residents within our service area once a month! Join our team!
As we earn a Super Shelf status at the Watertown site we will need help reorganizing, putting together shelving, etc.
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.
