Volunteer With The Greene County Food Pantry

Our food pantry is only possible due to volunteers from our community.  We welcome individuals and groups in helping us achieve our goal to end hunger in Greene County.  Our volunteers generally arrive between 8:30-9:00am on days that our pantry is open (Monday, Wednesday, Friday – 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.) 

Please take a look at these volunteer opportunities, then fill out the Volunteer form.  We will contact you shortly.

The Food Pantry is recognizing a key volunteer. Charlotte Jones, AKA "Cha-Cha", was killed recently in a car accident. She was a key member of the Food Pantry family.  Charlotte not only worked regularly and worked hard, she had an infectious laugh and personality. Thanks for all you did.  You will be missed.
