Volunteers Needed - Help Us Trial a New Diabetic-Friendly Food Box!

We’re excited to share that we’re piloting a new diabetic-friendly food box and need your help to make it the best it can be!

We’re looking for 3-4 volunteers to trial this box Sept.- Dec. 2026. As a trial volunteer, you’ll receive the food box and be asked to share your honest feedback on:
Usability - How easy is it to prepare and use the items included?
Flavor - How do the products taste? Are they enjoyable and satisfying?
Interest in future offerings - Would you want to see this box (or similar ones) offered again? What would you change or add?

This is great opportunity to help shape a program that could benefit many others managing diabetic diets, while getting first access to a thoughtfully curated box of products.

What’s involved:
Receive your food box monthly
Try the included products over the course of the month
Complete a short feedback survey (or interview) at the end of the trial
If you’re interested in volunteering, please personal message thur FaceBook.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our mission and help us bring better food options to those who need them.
Warm regards,
Camas Community Pantry

This spring we distributed a survey to gather your thoughts on the food pantry. Of the roughly 38 surveys handed out, 34% were returned—a solid response for a voluntary survey.

Thank you for taking the time to complete and return those surveys. We’ll conduct a follow‑up survey at the end of the year, and we hope you’ll participate. Your feedback directly shapes how we improve our program.
