Opportunities From: Catholic Charities Galveston - Houston

Assist clients with shopping for grocery items of their choosing in the Isle Market Food Pantry.

Food Pantry Assistants help clients with bagging food items as well as make sure clients are choosing items appropriate for their family size. Volunteer Assistants may also offer suggestions on how to cook food. 

Some Food Pantry Assistants may also assist clients in loading groceries into their cars.

We are specifically looking for volunteers with cheerful attitudes and a friendly demeanor when interacting with clients.

We are in need of volunteers on a regular basis.

If you have any questions, please contact Tony Pathyil at tpathyil@catholiccharities.org. 

PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN HELPING TO KEEP THE ISLE MARKET PANTRY IN GALVESTON RUNNING SMOOTHLY!

As an Isle Market Pantry Stocker, you can help Catholic Charities fulfill its vision of helping those in need achieve self-sufficiency and live with dignity.

Volunteer Stockers handle deliveries from the Galveston Food Bank by stocking shelves in the pantry's storeroom, breaking down boxes, helping to keep the storeroom and back areas of the pantry organized and looking their best. Stockers also help pack bags of groceries (or "Pre-Bags") that are given to pantry clients.

We're looking for volunteers who don’t mind a little heavy lifting (15 lbs. max) and getting their hands dirty. Some previous experience is helpful but not needed. All supplies are provided. A criminal background check is required.

This opportunity is great for groups and individuals!

Volunteers sort, assemble, and distribute pre-boxed grocery items for senior adult drive thru clients. Volunteers may also help by assisting clients with the intake forms.

This is the perfect opportunity for volunteers who can work quickly and carry up to 20 pounds of food.

NOTE: We cannot accept court mandated community service hours for any of our volunteer opportunities.

When you arrive, you may park in any space in the lot. Many of our clients will already be lined up at the back of the Island Community Center building. You will find our staff and volunteers carrying supplies from the food pantry located in Suite B-101.
