DO I HAVE TO COMMIT TO VOLUNTEERING ON CERTAIN DAYS EACH WEEK?
While regular volunteers are incredibly helpful, we understand that not everyone has a predictable schedule. You can choose to volunteer weekly, monthly, or even just occasionally—we’ll work with you to find a time that fits.
CURBSIDE PICKUP
We offer curbside pickup for existing customers who prefer a more convenient way to receive their groceries. This service is especially helpful for those with mobility challenges, health concerns, or tight schedules—no need to leave your car, we’ll bring your groceries right to you.
To use curbside pickup, you MUST call ahead to schedule by 9:00–9:30 AM on the day you plan to come in. Once scheduled, just pull into the parking lot and give us a call—we’ll take care of the rest.
In some cases, online grocery ordering may be available, depending on staff and volunteer capacity. This option is evaluated on a base-by-base basis and may be paused or cancelled at any time. If approved, orders must be placed by 10:00 PM the night before pickup. Please speak with staff before placing your order and again prior to pickup to confirm that your order is ready.
