Volunteers ARE The Open Door!

Get InvolvedEvery week, volunteers are busy answering phones, meeting and listening to clients, and welcoming them to The Open Door.

TOD has volunteer opportunities for everyone. Our volunteers stock shelves, shop with clients, help at large food distributions, and keep the Pantry in tip-top shape. Garden to Table volunteers weed plots, shovel mulch and share their garden know-how.

Kids ages 10-15 can volunteer in select roles with adult supervision. While kids 16 and older can volunteer on their own for select roles. Apply below to get started as a volunteer at The Open Door!
