Our Volunteers
The Colchester Food Shelf currently has 10 volunteer board members and about 40 volunteers that give their time in several different ways to serve the food shelf and its clients. Some duties handled by our generous volunteers include:
- Staffing the food shelf to assist clients with their monthly shopping visit
- Keeping shelves stocked, clean, and organized
- Checking in canned good donations and monthly orders by weighing and checking for expiration dates
- Making weekly pickups at local businesses for food donations, milk and eggs, fresh vegetables in the summer, fruit, etc.

The Board of Directors is currently made up of 8 volunteers who have a passion for helping the Colchester community. All members of the Board of Directors are volunteers.
