Join Us!

We couldn’t serve thousands of neighbors in need without the support of our amazing volunteers. More than 400 people volunteered at the Pantry in 2023. A total of 15,504 service hours were donated! Volunteer time is valued at $31.80 per hour. And that means the value of volunteer time donated last year was nearly $500,000! 

Check all of our Volunteer resources!

• Volunteer Application: Get started by filling out the online Volunteer Application Form. (See first green button on right.)

• Required Volunteer Forms: Review and electronically sign our forms.  No more paper!  (See second green button on right.) NOTE: If you are under the age of 18, we require a printed Minor Acknowledgement Form signed by the volunteer and a parent/guardian to be submitted in-person. This form can be found in the Volunteer Handbook or you can contact us by emailing volunteer@GlenHouseFoodPantry.org.

• Volunteer Orientation: Learn about the Pantry, including our long history and the impact we are making in our communities. The 45-minute presentation, which includes a Pantry tour, is offered once a month at the Pantry. Great opportunity for new volunteers to learn the ropes and a perfect chance for long-time volunteers to get up-to-date information on new services and procedures. To register, see “Volunteer Orientation” button on right. 

• Volunteer Handbook: Explore this great resource which has information about the Pantry’s mission and history and important details about safety and other policies.  (See fourth green button on right.)

• VicNet Portal: Once you are an active volunteer, you may access our online Volunteer Information Center (VIC). (Click the fifth green button on the right or download the app on your phone; Pantry staff can help if you need it).
