Pantry & Closet Distribution Event
Sunday, December 6 | 11:30 AM–4:30 PM
Join Oak Grove Community Closet as we serve individuals and families through our Pantry & Closet Distribution Event!
These events take many helping hands. Volunteers assist with everything from preparing the space and welcoming guests to helping families shop, keeping clothing sections organized, and cleaning up when the event is over.
Whether you're a returning volunteer or serving with us for the first time, there's a place for you!
Volunteer Opportunities Include:
Welcome & Registration Table
Welcome guests, assist with check-in and registration, answer basic questions, and help direct guests to the appropriate area.
Setup & Cleanup Crew
Help prepare the event space before distribution, set up tables and supplies, and assist with cleanup and resetting the facility afterward.
Sorting & Organizing Crew
Keep clothing, shoes, and other available items organized throughout the event. Rehang, straighten, restock, and help maintain an easy-to-shop environment.
