Looking for a way to give back to the Community?
East Greenwich Interfaith Food Cupboard is looking for Volunteers!
Volunteering at the East Greenwich Interfaith Food Cupboard
The East Greenwich Interfaith Food Cupboard is located at St. Luke’s Church, 99 Peirce St, East Greenwich. It is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:30 AM until noon. The church phone is 884-4116.
We ask that volunteers arrive between 9:30 and 9:45 to help set up, restock the shelves, etc. There are always extra things to do. For example, on Monday we receive bread and meat from Stop & Shop and other donations arrive throughout the week from Dave’s, Stop & Shop, area churches, and individuals.
Four volunteers are assigned each day we are open and we schedule shifts three months at a time. One volunteer works at the registration table and another shows clients extra items. The other two volunteers are at the freezer, the cooler, and the pantry giving out the food and bagging items.
We ask volunteers to learn both the registration of clients and the giving out of food. You must be able to do the physical work of restocking shelves. This involves bending, reaching, and lifting boxes that may weigh 15 pounds or more.
Some volunteers volunteer every week while some just choose 1 or 2 days a month. Depending on how many volunteers we have, sometimes a volunteer might only be scheduled for one shift that month.
If you have any more questions let us know. Hope this opportunity will appeal to you!
