Sycamore Collaborative's food pantry is the largest in Schenectady County, serving over 12,000 community members each year and welcoming 60 + volunteers monthly! The food pantry offers a variety of locally sourced grocery products, including non-perishables, produce, meat, and dairy, as well as items for personal hygiene, dog and cat food, and infant supplies.
IF YOU ARE A VOLUNTEER GROUP OF 6 OR MORE PEOPLE, please give a minimum of TWO WEEKS notice about a group volunteer opportunity!
Volunteer tasks can include:
- Distributing products to guests (every day except Tuesdays & Thursdays)
- Greeter
- Intake
- Packing bags
- Sorting and packing products
- Stocking shelves
- Cleaning
- Warehouse
- Data entry
Volunteers under 18 MUST be accompanied by a chaperone. This can include a parent, grandparent, troop leader, church leader, etc.
If you are a group that has minors OR requires an aide, you will need ONE aide/chaperone for every FOUR VOLUNTEERS in your group.
Example: 4 volunteers = 1 aide/chaperone, 8 volunteers = 2 aides/chaperones, 10 volunteers = 2 aides/chaperones, 12 volunteers = 3 aides/chaperones
Signing up under this posting is NOT an automatic registration. After registering for an opportunity, you will then receive an email from Cali, our Resource Development Coordinator, confirming your volunteer opportunity. You will also be asked some additional questions, to help us get to know you better and fulfill your volunteering needs!
Not only will you be helping others, but you will have fun doing it. What more could you ask for?! Sign up to volunteer today and make a positive impact in your community!
