Volunteer Roles
Join our team and volunteer!
Neighborhood Coordinator
Neighborhood coordinators gather at the annual meeting.
Once a month, neighborhood coordinators remind their community of the monthly pick-up date, and collect donations from their neighbors’ porches and deliver it to the OCIM food pantry. This volunteer role requires a time commitment of only a couple of hours per month but provides a considerable service to the OCIM food pantry. To become a Neighborhood Coordinator, please complete the form or email us at hillsborough@porchcommunities.org.
