Volunteering with the Food Pantry

THE BURLINGTON COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRY NEEDS VOLUNTEERS!

The Burlington Food Pantry is looking for two or more dynamic individuals to serve as co-coordinators.  The Pantry is an all volunteer organization.  The pantry is housed on the grounds of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Burlington and serves residents of the town.  Currently the pantry serves 130 families and is open from 3 – 6 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month.  The pantry has existed for 29 years and has seen continual growth.  It is overseen by a Board of Directors comprised of community members, representatives from local congregations, a representative from the Burlington Community Life Center and a representative from the Clergy Association.  Support also comes from 24 active volunteers.

This is an exciting time for the pantry as it expands into a brand new space and reaches out for support from the Boston Food Bank.  The individuals who are interested in this volunteer service to the community will have the opportunity to effect change and really make a difference in people’s lives.

If you are interested in learning more about this exciting opportunity, contact Kathy Abouzahra, Pantry Coordinator, at kabouzahra@peoplehelpingpeopleinc.org
