About

When NEFP isn't directly distributing food to clients, we are preparing for the next distribution day! Volunteer opportunities throughout the rest of the week include making boxes for clients, putting away orders, quality control checks, assisting with deliveries, etc. There are many opportunities to get involved and develop different skills throughout the week, and flexibility is key as tasks can change depending on the current needs of the pantry: 

Pantry Assistant: The magic happening behind the scenes! Every task that the Pantry Assistant performs makes it possible for NEFP to serve thousands of people each week. The tasks of the Pantry Assistant change every day, and flexibility and a willingness to jump in where needed is a necessity. One day the pantry might get flooded with donations and the Pantry Assistant may be asked to perform quality checks and organize these donations. Another day the Pantry Assistant may be asked to assist with cleaning and sanitizing surfaces. Nearly every shift, the Pantry Assistant will be asked to help build food boxes on one or more of our assembly lines.

Delivery Assistant: Keeps the food flowing in and out of the pantry. These volunteers are responsible for getting food deliveries to the right places and keeping the pantry stocked and organized. Some deliveries are larger than others, so the day-to-day varies. For example, one day might bring a large pallet of oranges and the Delivery Assistant could be asked to help portion these oranges after the truck is unloaded. On another day, a large delivery of food could come in that requires more space than the pantry basement has. The Delivery Assistant may be asked to transport pallets from the basement to the upstairs line to make space for the delivery. Regardless, these volunteers are the muscle behind it all.
