Make a difference. Become a volunteer.
We have one volunteering opening at the moment:
Cook a meal and drop it off:
We are looking for volunteers to cook meals for 40 people at home then drop off the meals at our shelter. A meal for 40 people is two of the big turkey sized disposable aluminum pans. We encourage you to gather ingredients like fresh meat and produce from our shelter to take home to cook the meal with since the cost of groceries is so high.
Volunteer Drivers:
Our Shelter has a zero-dollar food budget meaning all the food we serve and give out at our food pantry is donated not bought. Our drivers pick up food from Good Shepherd Food Bank, Shaw’s, Hannaford, and BJ’s. Must have a valid driver’s license, be reliably available for weekly pick-ups, must be able to lift 50 pounds.
We need a volunteer driver to commit to picking up a donated groceries at BJ’s Wholesale Club located at 110 Longview Drive in Bangor every Saturday between 11 am and noon. Must be able to lift 50 pounds.
Deep Cleaner:
We need a volunteer to deep clean the common areas in our shelter every week. Two hours each week would be very helpful.
If you have any special skills you’d like to share with the shelter, please contact Gretchen Fennelly our Volunteer Coordinator by calling (207) 947-0092or emailing gretchenf@bangorareashelter.org
