Volunteer

One of Beacon’s most valuable resources is our steadfast crew of Volunteers!!

Each and every one of our Volunteers brings with them a love of community, a desire to be a part of something larger than themselves, and a support network for those we serve, as well as one another.

Folks who begin volunteering for a million different reasons, stay because there is something truly magical about Beacon…

We may look like the Island of Misfit Toys, but we have the feeling of home and family… <3

“Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy.  You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.” -Anonymous

Volunteer Opportunities

  • Food Pantry

    Morning shifts include drivers who, using Beacon vehicles, pick up food donations from local grocers, seven days a week.

    Prepping for distribution include sorting produce, making meat bags, packing boxes, stocking our client choice shopping room.

    During food distribution, volunteers sign-in clients, update paperwork, record assistance in our database, help families navigate the Client Choice shopping area, and deliver food to client’s vehicles.

    if you are interested in volunteering in our food pantry, please fill out our online volunteer application. Thank you!!

    We offer both morning and afternoon shifts in our thrift store. Current store hours are Monday - Saturday, 10 am - 4pm.
