Volunteer: Your Neighbors are Hungry. You Can Help! Volunteer at Catholic Charities Tuesday

Are you looking for a way to make a real difference in your community? Do you have a few hours a week that you could dedicate to a truly worthwhile cause? Then we need YOU at Catholic Charities!

Right here in Nashville, families are struggling to put food on the table. Rising costs, job losses, and unexpected emergencies can leave anyone facing food insecurity. At Catholic Charities, we're working to bridge that gap and ensure that everyone has access to nutritious meals. But we can't do it alone. We need compassionate volunteers like you to join our team on Tuesdays from 9:00 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. and Thursdays from 1:00 p.m.-4:30 p.m. at the Catholic Pastoral Center. 

Here's how you can make a difference:

Sort and pack food donations: Help us organize the generous donations we receive and prepare them for distribution to those in need. It's a great way to meet new people and see the direct impact of your efforts. Distribute food to families: Be the friendly face that greets our clients and helps them select the food they need. You'll be providing more than just groceries; you'll be offering a sense of dignity and hope. We are specifically in need of a volunteer who is bilingual in Spanish to assist families and individuals in accessing the Hunger Relief services. Help with administrative tasks: From answering phones to data entry, your skills can help us keep our pantry running smoothly and efficiently. Spread the word: Help us raise awareness about our mission and recruit other volunteers by sharing our message on social media or in your community.

Why Volunteer at Catholic Charities?

Make a tangible difference: See the immediate impact of your work as you help families in your own community. Connect with your community: Meet new people who share your passion for helping others. Gain valuable experience: Develop new skills in teamwork, organization, and community outreach. Feel the joy of giving back: Experience the satisfaction of knowing you're making a positive impact on the lives of others.

Don't wait! Your neighbors need you. Sign up to volunteer at Catholic Charities today!
