VOLUNTEER WITH MT AIRY NET
VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME
We have a variety of ways that you can volunteer your time to serve those in need in our community!
Serve in the office! We have regular volunteers that serve weekly in our crisis office interacting with families coming in.
Serve in the pantry! Volunteers serve weekly in the pantry sorting and shelving donations and getting food baskets ready for the day.
Serve with donation pick-ups! Volunteers go to various businesses and other non-profits to pick up donations as needed.
Serve with big drive help! Occasionally there will be a need for help in the pantry when there has been a large food drive and many donations need to be sorted and expiration dates checked before shelving.
Serve as a board member! Members are needed to give support and direction to the Director and Pantry manager and to represent the Net throughout the community.
*Due to the fact that we have very dedicated volunteers that have committed to come in once a week to volunteer, we often do not have a need for additional volunteers unless there is a large food drive that has come in or a volunteer’s schedule changes. Just let us know how you’re interested in helping and we will see if there’s a need at this time or keep your info for future needs.
