Volunteers are critical to the operation of the Affton Christian Food Pantry!  Without people, just like you, we are unable to feed the hungry in our area.

Our volunteer needs change throughout the year.  If we do not have any current openings in your area of interest, please inquire through the Volunteer Interest Form!
