OUR VOLUNTEERS SAY
“Volunteering at Common Pantry offers the chance to give something back to the community and make a difference to the people around me. It also strengthens my compassion for others and provides an opportunity to meet new people.”

"The respect and caring that all the volunteers show our clients makes each day special. If everyone just cared about others, we'd be in a really great place."
