Volunteer

We work hard to keep our costs low in the ways we source food and staff the Foodshelf. We have a remarkable dedicated team of volunteers that helps to make this possible. Each year we seek social service funding from the surrounding towns. We actively seek grant funding, and work to build connections with foundations and funders to sustain long-term financial stability for the organization.

Thank you!
