Our Mobile Pantry program provides food to our neighbors in need every day. Food from the Dare to Care warehouse is taken out in our 13-county service area and distributed with the help of volunteers. On select Tuesday mornings, Dare to Care will operate a Mobile Pantry from our Senior Outreach Warehouse. We will set up in the garage doors of the building and run the program as a drive-up.
10 volunteers are needed at each shift to:
- set-up tables to place food on
- help distribute food
- help consolidate large amounts of produce into smaller bags
- break down boxes and collect plastic for recycling
- help register clients interested for senior commodities
This opportunity will last until we run out of food--expect about 2 hours but no longer than 3 hours.
The warehouse is located in the Big “A” Shopping Center off Cane Run Road and Algonquin Parkway. If you turn into the center at the Big “A” take the first right, go to the stop sign and take a left. You will need to go to the end of the parking lot towards the flags, turn right at the flags and come behind the building. We are located directly behind the Northwood Machinery business.
UPDATE: Masks are currently optional for volunteer opportunities. IF YOU OR ANYONE IN YOUR HOME FEELS ILL OR IS QUARANTINED FOR HEALTH REASONS, PLEASE STAY HOME.
