If you reside in the Plainfield, Hancock, Almond or Bancroft area, we are here to help you stretch your grocery dollar. Whether it be an illness, unexpected emergency, job loss, or just too much month left at the end of the money, we want to help.

• Volunteer
  Joseph Hope Community Food Pantry is run and staffed by volunteers. We have no paid staff. The pantry relies on these volunteers to perform a wide range of activities from office work to picking up donated food items to packaging these items for distribution.

Some of the volunteer opportunities include:

1. Distributing food items to customers from 3 pm to 5 pm on the third Friday of every month.
2. Packing cold/freezer bags from 1 pm to 3 pm on the third Friday of the month prior to the 3 pm distribution.
3. Packing dry, shelf stable bags on the Wednesday prior to the Friday Distribution.

 If you or your organization would like to volunteer, please contact our pantry coordinator at 715-697-3672 or the church office at 715-335-6905. There is no time commitment that you must fulfill. You may volunteer as little or as much as you are available.
