Pantry Assistant
Client Facing Tasks
Our pantry assistants crew keeps our busy grocery distribution flowing smoothly. They play a hands-on role welcoming clients and supporting the daily operation of provisioning families with grocery bags from our food pantry. Pantry assistants work closely with the pantry manager to organize food, keep grocery staples stocked, pack grocery bags and boxes, and assist with setup and takedown at opening and closing times (9 am and 3 pm).
Pantry volunteers keep the pantry area clean, organized, and welcoming, ensuring clients are well attended throughout their visit. It is through the efforts of our pantry volunteers that PV Loaves and Fishes is able to distribute grocery bags to more than 600 families each month with dignity and respect while providing a positive experience to everyone we serve.

Food Delivery Unloading
Volunteers support our pantry operation by unloading food deliveries before the pantry service begins. Volunteers assist staff by receiving and moving donated food items assuring the pantry is ready to open on time. This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy short, active shifts and behind-the-scenes support, perhaps before starting the rest of their day.
