ORGANIZATION: EZRA Multi-Service Center

EZRA Logo

EZRA's Food & Hygiene Pantry operates with a client-choice model, allowing clients to select their own groceries every week. The pantry distributes more than 3,000 food bags and 1,500 hygiene bags a year, and we're always looking for volunteers to help our pantry continue to run smoothly.

Availability Wednesday or Thursday Afternoon is necessary.

We ask that our pantry volunteers try to make a commitment of one shift per month, for three months. These shifts last no more than 2 hours. Of course, we encourage volunteers to continue with us if they enjoy volunteering at EZRA!

Volunteers attend a brief pantry orientation prior to volunteering. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early for your 1st shift.

You can call EZRA at (773) 275-0866 to sign up over the phone, or simply click "I want to help" above, and we'll reach out to you!

*If you don't see our email, check your junk mailbox to ensure they aren't being delivered there*
