The Samaritan Inn operates a grocery-store-style food pantry that serves hundreds of local families every week. Our Check-Out Volunteers are an important part of helping our neighbors get the food they need.
As a Check-Out Volunteer, you'll be the friendly face who helps our clients complete their shopping trip to stock up on nutritious food for their families. It’s a great way to meet and help our neighbors, and your help means we’ll be able to quickly get our neighbors on their way!
During your shift, you’ll:
- Greet our neighbors when they’re ready to check out
- Use a provided tablet to scan each shopper's membership card
- Record the weight of their groceries when they're done shopping. This helps us keep track of how many people we serve, and how much food we give out - more than 100,000 people and 1.4 million pounds last year!
You'll need to feel comfortable using a tablet and talking to our visitors; Spanish is a plus but definitely not required. You may sit or stand while doing Check-Out. And if you enjoy your time with us, we hope you'll consider a regular shift.
Thank you for helping us feed our community!
