Table of Hope is one of the largest food pantries in the Wichita Metro Area providing food staples to more than 1,000 people and more than 400 pets each week. Since the pandemic we have seen the number of new clients increase dramatically, particularly in the past several weeks as unemployment benefits have run out or been drastically reduced.
At the same time demand is increasing our volunteer staff is shrinking. We are losing several of our most able-bodied high-school age volunteers this next week with the start of public schools and so we are in desperate need of additional help.
Distribution takes place every Tuesday and opportunities include:
--Prepping/assembling food boxes in our staging area
--Loading food boxes onto a conveyor belt that connects our staging area to our outdoor delivery area
--Loading food boxes in our outdoor delivery area into cars
