Volunteer at the Plainfield Area Interfaith Food Pantry

The Plainfield Area Interfaith Food Pantry is powered by dedicated volunteers who give their time and energy to make a difference. Whether you’re stocking shelves, distributing food, or assisting with administrative tasks, your help is invaluable. Volunteering is a rewarding way to connect with your community and directly impact the lives of those in need. 

The Plainfield Area Interfaith Food Pantry needs volunteer support Monday through Saturday mornings from 7:30 AM to noon. We seek reliable, dedicated individuals who can commit to volunteering weekly, even if only for part of a workday. If you are interested, please call (815) 439-8394 to schedule an initial visit and learn more about available opportunities.

Volunteer Roles Include:

Sorting Donations – Organizing incoming food and supplies to ensure efficient distribution.

Stocking Shelves – Keeping our pantry well-stocked and orderly for client visits.

Assisting Clients – Helping families select food items while maintaining confidentiality and dignity.

Donation Pickups – Collecting and transporting donations from community partners.

Due to the nature of our work, children younger than high school age are not permitted to volunteer. The Pantry operates in all kinds of weather, and confidentiality is essential to protecting the dignity of those we serve.
