There's a place
for you here.
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.
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.
Volunteer Meeting Luncheon
Join us for a luncheon to meet the team, hear the vision, and take your first steps as a Plumley Village Food Pantry volunteer. All are welcome.
Give your resources.
