About the role

At the Essential Needs Center, we have an array of different volunteer opportunities. Here we house the Interfaith Works Clothing Center and Food Pantry. Most of our volunteers help us at the clothing center by sorting and hanging clothes, and organizing toys and home goods in our center. While our staff mainly manages the food pantry, sometimes we do have volunteers helping restock shelves and organize food items. We also often have special projects throughout the year, such as our annual backpack distribution, holiday giveaways, and community outreach events. To volunteer with us, we require all new volunteers to sign up for orientation. Orientation is offered on Wednesdays from 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM and Saturdays from 8:30 AM - 10:30 AM. Once you have completed the orientation, you can schedule your volunteer dates and times.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
