There's a place

Whether you give your time, your resources, or your influence — every act of partnership helps us build something meaningful for residents of Plumley Village Apartments and the Bell Hill neighborhood.

Volunteer

Give your time.

Volunteers are the heartbeat of the Plumley Village Food Pantry. From food sorting and client services to community outreach and administrative support, there are meaningful roles for people of all backgrounds and abilities.

No experience is required — just a willing heart and a commitment to treating every neighbor with dignity and respect. We provide training and ongoing support for all volunteers.
