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!

PLEASE NOTE:  We cannot accommodate “walk-in” volunteers while the pantry is in operation.  Volunteering requires an orientation and training session that cannot be completed while we are serving our clients.

The best way to express an interest in volunteering is to complete the

Volunteer Interest Form.  

Blank forms are also available at the reception desk during pantry hours.

All Volunteers will need to complete a Volunteer Waiver. Receive a copy at the pantry or print at home, fill it out, and bring it in!
