Two mornings a month.

Most volunteering takes months before you see what it did. This takes one morning. You sort what comes in from the Central California Food Bank and from local donations, or you work the Saturday pantry and see it go out, car by car.

4th Tuesday of the month

9 to 11 AM

Packing, at the Marion property, 8019 N Marion Ave, Clovis

Sorting and boxing non-perishable food. Please sign up ahead of time so we know how many hands to expect.

1st Saturday of the month

8 to 10 AM

Pantry morning, at the church

The drive-through in the parking lot. There is food to hand out, traffic to direct, and families to check in.

Does it cost anything?

No. The food is free, at both locations.

Do I have to be a member of the church?

No. The pantry is open to anyone who needs food.

What if I need food before the next pantry?

You're welcome at New Hope.

All three Sunday services at 8, 9:30, and 11 AM are identical, same teaching and same worship, so come at the hour that works for you.
