Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada has reopened its in-person volunteering opportunities following a temporary pause of in-person participation during the pandemic year.
The Hands of Hope Community Food Pantry has now resumed with volunteer shifts available from 8 a.m. to noon or noon to 2 p.m.
Individuals interested in volunteering at the food pantry must be at least 16 years old, provide proof that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before serving on campus and schedule a shift online. On-site volunteers are also required to follow the appropriate dress code (wearing a face mask, long pants, shirt with sleeves and closed toe shoes) throughout the duration of their shift and must be willing to serve in all areas of the food pantry.
CCSN recently modified its volunteer scheduling process via an online portal. Now those interested can visit CatholicCharities.volunteerhub.com to view and sign-up for various service opportunities, from in-person volunteering at the pantry, to remote volunteering activities like building hygiene kits for those experiencing homelessness or baby kits for families.
“The outpouring of support from community members has been a blessing and we’ve truly missed the physical presence of volunteers in our pantry over the past several months,” said CCSN President and CEO Deacon Tom Roberts. “We are excited to welcome them back to our campus for rewarding, hands on experiences that fulfill the human desire to help others in need.”
The Hands of Hope Community Food Pantry offers In-person client shopping or clients may receive a pre-packaged box during business hours of Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
CCSN relies on the ongoing contributions of donors. Those interested in contributing, can visit www.catholiccharities.com.
