Volunteers are needed Monday thru Saturday to glean the County for food, store food, break down bulk groceries into 1 lb. bags, fill grocery bags and help keep the Pantry running smoothly. On Saturdays, we need volunteers from 7:30 AM till 4 PM, join us for a couple of hours or the whole day. We need help setting up drive-thru service, sorting and packing food, the distribution of food, signing up new clients, and cleaning up after service. Please drop by on a Saturday to meet your neighbors who volunteer here and see if YOU want to join us in serving this community.
Our Food Pantry Garden in the Windsor Town Green Community Garden needs volunteers to help tend and harvest the vegetables from the beds dedicated to WSA's Food Pantry. Community gardeners can also request our volunteers to glean excess produce from their garden beds for donation to WSA. Anyone interested in helping garden or harvest can call the WSA at (707) 838-6947. If you find that you have excess fruits or vegetables from your own garden, you can bring them by the pantry and we would be more than happy to distribute them to the recipients.
