Effective May 4, 2020, EYFP has implemented a “client choice” service model in order to better meet taste preferences and reduce food waste while maintaining a safe and healthy environment for our volunteers and all those we serve. Volunteers during client service shifts perform the following tasks:
-
As clients arrive at the pantry’s drive-up distribution, volunteers take down clients’ food orders on a pre-printed form. Clients can partially roll down their driver’s side window to tell the volunteer their order, but must remain in their cars at all times.
-
Volunteers use a shopping cart to select and package clients’ requested food items inside the pantry, wheel carts outside to clients’ parked cars, and place all items into clients’ trunks. Volunteers are not permitted to enter any client vehicles.
You must be able to stand/walk for 1.5-3 hours depending on the shift.
Client Service Shifts:
Monday: 6:15-8:00pm
Thursday: 12:45-4:00pm; 6:15-8:00pm
Saturday: 9:15am-12:30pm
Please take a minute to complete our volunteer application vs. signing up on this site. This ensures you get a prompt response. You can find it at:
