- Hallway Monitors: Help direct neighbors as they move around the pantry and replenish carts from outside.
- Outside Cart Attendant: Help walk-in neighbors load their boxes/bags of food into their vehicle and place used carts back inside pantry
- Drive-Up Line Volunteer: Assigned solely to the drive-up line. You will take boxes of pre-packed food and take out to vehicles in the drive-up line.
- Community Care Volunteer: Assist Community Cares with taking personal care item orders, packing bags and distributing those items
