Time 9:30 am-4 pm

Description

New Hope Pantry is seeking volunteers to help with several general maintenance needs at our facility. These projects will help us keep our space safe, welcoming, and functional for the families we serve.


Current Needs:

1. *Mailbox Installation* – We need a new mailbox installed at our location to ensure reliable mail service for pantry operations.

2. *Vine & Brush Removal* – Thick vines are overrunning the perimeter of the building and trash area. We need help cutting back and clearing the overgrowth to maintain a clean and safe exterior.

3. *Power Washing* – The exterior of the building is in need of power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and buildup.


*Details:*

These are one-time projects that can be completed by a small group of skilled individuals. We’ll provide access to water/electricity as needed. Volunteers should be comfortable with outdoor work and bring basic tools if possible. Gloves, trash bags, and disposal can be arranged. Required tools will be provided. Water, lunch, and snacks will be provided for this full day project on Friday, September 18, 9:30 am-4 pm, as part of Nancy Perry Day of Caring 2026. 


Your help will directly support our mission to serve families in need by keeping our pantry safe and presentable.
