Help us reach neighbors in need by volunteering at Berkley Cares Food Pantry!

Our dedicated volunteers help with a variety of tasks, including:

  • Greeting pantry guests

  • Sorting, packing, and distributing Care Boxes

  • Collecting and organizing pantry donations

  • Setting up and cleaning up for Pantry Days

  • Delivering Care Boxes to neighbors within a 3 mile radius of Berkley (must be 21+ with a valid drivers license, proof of registration, and insurance)

Volunteer shifts take place at the Pantry on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Please arrive 15 minutes before the start of your shift and park in the church parking lot (by Rite-Aid).

Please note:

  • The minimum age requirement to volunteer is 14 years old (with parental consent).

  • Volunteers are required to complete BCFP’s pantry waiver form prior to volunteering.

  • Please dress in comfortable clothing. All volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes.
