Together, we can make a difference!Your time is valuable and you want to put it to good use.
We love that about our volunteers! Why not invest in the important work of making sure our neighbors have the food they need to thrive? It’s easy, fun, and so important in our ability to get the work done. No matter your age or ability there is a task you can do. Hinckley Area Food Pantry is 100% volunteer operated!
