Our weekly mobile pantries need volunteers. This is your chance to see where the meals packed go, and to get that warm fuzzy feeling from interacting and helping those who are hungry in our community. You will also get to be a part of the team that runs the largest food panty in Collier County. Volunteers for the Mobile Food Pantry Trucks need to arrive I hour before the distribution starts and stay the full 3 hours. Volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes.<\/p>\n
