Opportunities

Popsie's Pantry: Donation Pick-Up

Popsie’s Pantry receives donated bread and baked goods from a local grocery store every Sunday. We are looking for 2-4 volunteers to join a rotating schedule and help with this weekly volunteer need on an ongoing basis. The volunteer of the week will be responsible for arriving to the grocery store at 10 am on that Sunday and be able to load their car independently with the donated items. The volunteer will then drop off the donations on the following day (Monday) to Jewish Family Services, between 9 am and noon. The volunteer will also stock the pantry with the donated bakery items. Please note: in the case that more bread and baked goods are donated than our capacity, we also ask that the volunteer makes a second stop at a school within Washington Township, so that the extra food can be distributed to students who need it.
