Give Your Time
Show up. Make a difference.
Volunteers are the heartbeat of Community Storehouse. Whether you can give a few hours a week or organize a group day, there's a place for you here.
Why your time matters
Every hour you volunteer translates directly into food on the shelves and meals on the table. Our volunteers sort and pack thousands of pounds of food each week, deliver groceries to homebound neighbors, and keep our Marketplace running — all so our small staff can focus on the people we serve.
