HELP IS ALWAYS WELCOME

Options for Volunteering

We live in a generous community and have a dedicated core group of volunteers and occasional volunteers...even the Mayor of Oronoco finds time to lend a helping hand.  Volunteers do not need to commit to helping at every opening.  Volunteers notify the Volunteer Coordinator (that's Rachel) of their availability and help as their schedules allow.

2nd & 4th Wednesdays
5-6:30pm. 

 OFS Opens
You can be in one of 4 places:
  • serving at a station (like check-in or check-out)
  • restocking items on the shelves (ongoing)
  • delivering groceries up the stairs and out to cars. 
We fill our spots based on who is available on a given week, so don’t worry if you have a week or a season where you are unavailable.​ Help when you can.

2nd Thursday
10:30-11am​

Delivery
This is when the Channel One truck comes and we unload several hundred pounds of food.  We have a pretty good system (think roller tables) but can always use some strong backs and box openers at this time.

Project Days
Plus there are projects and project days. Call us to find out when the next one is.​
Volunteering is a fun and easy way to offer help to the community. 
Carol is our volunteer coordinator, she has a way of plugging you in and making you feel like you are part of something great. Which you will be.
