Give your time to CEAP and make an impact in your community! If you’re available for a regular weekly or monthly volunteer shift, we are excited to talk more with you about what volunteer options currently exist.

Volunteers are assisting in the packing of CEAP Essentials, sorting food rescue, and providing curbside grocery service to participants. We’ve taken extra measures to ensure the wellness and safety of our volunteers, which is our top priority at CEAP. CEAP has increased our sanitation measures, and ask all staff and volunteers to wash hands regularly and maintain social distancing.

If you are interested in volunteering at CEAP, we are currently looking for volunteers for specific days and times! Here are our current volunteer opportunities:

Food Market:

Pack Groceries! 

As a “Pantry Partner,” you’ll spend time filling orders for participants and restocking our Food Market shelves! This immersive experience allows you to see CEAP’s impact firsthand by providing high quality, nutritious groceries to our neighbors!

Connect with the Community! 

A community-facing position, Curbside Connectors work directly with our participants to ensure they receive their order with dignity and respect. You’ll kindly greet participants, check them in using our computer software, and transport their food orders from the Food Market to their cars!
