Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Interfaith Food Pantry Network! We rely heavily on volunteers to help us achieve our mission. We have many on-staff and intermittent opportunities that need volunteers like you!
Our mission is to provide opportunities for neighbors to help neighbors. We have approximately 250 “staff” volunteers who make our organization run, plus another 1,000 who work with us as part of a one-time or periodical group.
If you are an individual interested in volunteering, please complete the volunteer application and return to Jayne Wenner to begin the process. You will be matched with an opportunity based on interest and availability. If you are seeking a group activity, please email or call Jayne directly at 973-538-8049 x218.
