MLK Day of Service: Gleaners Food Pantry Drive Thru

In recognition of MLK Day, please join us for a Day of Service partnering with Gleaners Food Bank!

Why Your Time Matters

• Last year, 12,000+ volunteers helped process 17 million meals.

• Every volunteer hour = up to 276 meals for our community. Your contribution truly makes a difference!

✅ Preparing to Volunteer

1. Registration

• Register using the RSVP link above (takes about 2 minutes).

• Registration confirms your spot, sends reminders, and includes the electronic waiver.

• Unregistered volunteers are not guaranteed a spot.

• Important: Reservation spots expire 5 days before your shift unless confirmed. Unclaimed spots will be released to the public.

2. Parking & Arrival

• Review the Volunteer Parking Map.

• Park in yellow spaces and enter at Door Number 5.

• Turn on flashers at the entrance for traffic control.

• Avoid Waldemere Ave during pantry hours (Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat). Use Hanna Circle instead.

• Arrive 15 minutes early for check-in and training.

3. What to Wear

• Closed-toe shoes required (sneakers recommended).

• Dress for the weather: garage doors stay open, so it may be warm in summer and cold in winter.

🔍 What to Expect

Activities may include:

• Using a shopping cart and tablet to build grocery orders

• Loading cars

• Directing traffic

• Bagging bulk food items for distribution

Work Details:

• Mostly indoors, some outdoor roles

• Light, repetitive lifting and bending (similar to grocery loading)

• Light-duty accommodations available—please notify us in advance or upon arrival.

We can’t wait to see you soon!

Your time and effort help feed families and strengthen our community. 💙
