COUNTLESS WAYS TO LEND A HAND
Providing weekly food assistance to nearly 2000 Coralville residents requires a lot of help!

We would love to have you join our compassionate and dedicated team of volunteers, who generously offer their unique talents and abilities for the greater good.

There are numerous ways to become involved at the food pantry. In addition to needing volunteers for weekly pantry shifts–Tuesdays (2-4, 4-6pm), Thursdays (10am-Noon), and Saturdays (10am-1pm)–we are always looking for people interested in stocking shelves, repackaging bulk food items, cleaning/tidying up, food pick-up, data entry, marketing, graphic design, fundraising, and more!

If you’re thinking of volunteering, please email us at volunteer@cefoodpantry.org so that we can help you match your time and talents to the needs of the pantry in the most beneficial way.  Whether you can give a little or a lot of your time, your stewardship enables us to continue to serve those in need.

REGISTER FOR VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION
We encourage anyone interested in volunteering with us on a regular or semi-regular basis to attend one of our monthly Volunteer Orientations. It is here we discuss various volunteer tasks in depth, offer a tour of the pantry, and provide an opportunity to fill out a volunteer application. Volunteer Orientation is generally held the 2nd Thursday of each month from 6:30-7:30pm. You can sign up here. Individual orientations can be scheduled upon request.
