We are constantly in the fight to eliminate hunger and help our low income communities by providing food. Our numbers keep increasing as we are under uncertain times. Volunteers are needed to receive, weigh, sort and stock items as they are being delivered. However, we are in urgent need of volunteers who can pick up local donations from new donors, and/or cover shifts of our current drivers. You can volunteer for a regular weekly , or biweekly food run, let us know what works best for
you. Giving a couple of hours a week will make a huge difference in our community.
This position requires using your own vehicle. You will drive to the donor’s location to pick up the food. Donors are local (Concord, Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek). The pickups need to be done early mornings and/or afternoons and usually consists of carrying boxes of food and other non-perishable items. Be able to lift more than 20 pounds. Ideal candidates must be responsible and punctual to the schedule pick-ups.

Mission Statement
Refuge Food Pantry is a coalition of churches, organizations and individuals on mission in the Monument Corridor to end food insecurity in our neighborhood. Started by a group of neighbors in 2010 that saw a need in their community, the pantry became a ministry of Refuge Church (formerly Parkhaven Baptist) and continues to serve the Monument neighborhood today.
Description
As an Agency Partner with The Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano, we are in the fight to end hunger. In 2020, the number of households the pantry serves has grown exponentially. Originally providing 200 supplemental meals/week pre-COVID-19, we now distribute upwards of 2000 supplemental meals/week!

in this growing neighborhood.
