Come be part of our wonderful community of volunteers who are making a real difference in the lives of our neighbors in need. We provide a warm and welcoming environment for volunteers and clients alike. Your impact is immediate and our clients are so grateful for the helping hand. We operate out of the BCC Rescue Squad, 5020 Battery Lane, Bethesda.
We operate under a Choice Market model. This model gives our clients the ability to choose the food items we offer that best meet the needs of their families in a grocery-store-like experience. This new model is the gold standard of food pantries--and deeply supports Nourishing Bethesda's commitment to honor our clients with agency and respect. There are various new volunteer positions to choose from!
How can you help?
- Helping at the produce and product displays
- Restocking the market
- Set up for food packing and distribution operations
- Pack produce, shelf stable groceries, and bread/bagels in bags for distribution to clients
- Greet clients and/or check them in for appointments; Spanish language skills are helpful but not required
- Help clients move carts with several bags of food to clients' vehicles
We have volunteer shifts on:
- Thursday afternoons and evenings
- Friday mornings, afternoons, and evenings
Shifts often fill up early, but openings often become available when volunteers need to cancel, so please check back.
