Volunteer Update!

Please see new food distributions procedures at the Family Pantry

We have adjusted the “Pick & Pack” operation and moved the bulk of it out of the food distribution area into the warehouse. The front side of the operation (receiving shopping lists, copying the list and turning it over to the “Facilitator”) remains unchanged. We have moved all of our Pick & Pack volunteers to the warehouse in an effort to allow more room (social distancing) between each volunteer who is picking & packing a client’s order. Volunteers, using a shopping cart, pick product directly off of the bulk food pallets and place it in shopping bags as they follow a predetermined path while maintaining a safe distance from other volunteers. When the volunteer is finished with the dry goods, the volunteer waits for the perishable items to be loaded into the cart.  When the order is complete the volunteer takes the carriage to the front of the Pantry to be distributed to the client.
