Please visit the new page to apply.
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!
