Oakland HOPE’s Client Choice Food Pantry is able to provide FREE groceries to thousands of families each month. Families, seniors and veterans who have lost their paycheck and income now receive free groceries because of your support! We have been able to share the love and hope of Jesus because of volunteers, donors, and supporters and Thrift Store shoppers like YOU!
Oakland HOPE's Food Pantry is dependent on the sales from our Thrift Store, and is the funding mechanism for our entire ministry.
Volunteers are needed Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10:30am to 4:00pm. First-time volunteers should arrive at 10:00 for orientation. Lunch is provided.
Volunteers will split their time between the food pantry and the thrift store.
Food Pantry volunteers: enjoy being a shopper! Help select items for families who visit the food pantry and other volunteers load the food boxes into their vehicles. Work with other dedicated volunteers to sort through food items for quality assurance and help to pre-bag fresh produce! Volunteers do not make direct contact with clients in the food pantry.
Thrift Store volunteers: work in the thrift store by sorting and pricing items! Help keep shelves updated with new merchandise and beautify our store and improve our shopping experience. Our Thrift Store is filled with previously loved, gently used items, clothing, jewelry, shoes, purses, electronics, household items, fabulous mid-century modern, antiques and shabby chic furniture finds.
Group Volunteers: With advance notice we welcome groups of all ages and sizes (max 25) Corporate, Church, School, Groups of Friends and Families welcome! Volunteering at Oakland HOPE is the perfect TEAM-Building activity or modeling social responsibility for youth and all ages. Groups please email norma@oaklandhope.org
Masks are required for all volunteers, staff, and clients.
