Would you like to help out at The Olive Branch? This is our central storehouse and distribution facility.
We have multiple tasks at the pantry that have to be worked daily, weekly or occasionally.
Daily:
- Fill milk crates with a variety of food and toiletries to be ready for those volunteers who are servicing the pantries to pick up.
- Put away donations, check expiration dates, put items on shelves for crate fillers, store like food together by type and date, and generally keep things neat and organized.
- Sweep, break down boxes, take out trash
Weekly:
- General cleaning - cleaning bathroom, desk area, windows, shelving
- Repackage individually wrapped food items and toiletry items
When needed:
- Clean crates - milk crates and the large crates used for storage at the warehouse
- Monday's only - help unload food deliveries from North Texas Food Bank
Some of these task may involve lifting boxes and crates that are 25 pounds or more.
This is a great opportunity and very important to making sure McKinney Little Free Pantry can help to address food insecurity in our community.
This opportunity takes place solely at The Olive Branch.
Hours of the Olive Branch is Monday through Friday 9am - 3pm. Start time for this opportunity is flexible. You can volunteer any time between 9am and 3pm while the Olive Branch is open.

This assistance is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week with no rules or regulations as to who receives this assistance.
