Help Families Facing Hunger and Homelessness
Neighborhood House’s Community Services Program helps families in crisis meet their immediate needs related to food and housing and gives them tools they need to gain long-term self-sufficiency. You can help families in need by joining our dedicated corps of Emergency Food Box Program volunteers.
Volunteering with the Emergency Food Box Program
The Emergency Food Box Program, a largely volunteer-driven program, provides emergency food assistance to more than 1,000 hungry neighbors every month. Volunteers help clients select their food from our shopping-style pantry, stock the shelves and, if able to lift 25-35 pounds, bring food up from our basement storeroom. Food Program users come from a wide range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and speak a variety of languages. Ability to work patiently and respectfully in a diverse setting is required. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. A background check is required.
