VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are the heart and soul of Interfaith Social Services. Each year hundreds of caring individuals donate their time to help ISS’ fulfill its mission. Volunteers serve food to hungry clients through the Pantry Shelf food program, the Bureau Drawer Thrift Shop is entirely run by volunteers who sort clothes and prepare items for sale, volunteers assist low-income job seekers in the Career Closet, they raise produce in our food pantry garden, they help write grant application, they operate our reception desk, they answer ISS’ telephones, they coordinate fundraisers and serve on planning committees.
The common denominator amongst all of the volunteers at ISS is their commitment to services that benefit our neighbors in need.
