How to Join the Team?

Volunteers at the Lynn Food Pantry help restock shelves, assist clients with food selection, prepare bags, handle client intake, do light cleaning, and move items. Shifts run Monday through Friday, mornings and afternoons. The pantry serves many Hispanic, Haitian, Russian, and Ukrainian clients, so volunteers with language skills in those areas are especially welcome.
