Volunteering
PEC started as an all-volunteer agency. We host dedicated volunteers every year who want to make a difference in the community. For more information contact Trish by e-mail at tdowney@pec-cares.org or click here to apply and process clearances. In accordance with state law, all volunteer opportunities require clearances.
We have need for volunteers to distribute food in 2021. Currently opportunities are on Thursdays from 9am to 1pm.
You can take a peek at what food relief generally looks like right now here: https://youtu.be/2ss1y6SFbDc although the video was shot very early in quarantine before masks were available. We now have masks so you’ll be covered.
It is outside.
We do provide masks, gloves, and sanitizer.
We encourage physical distancing as much possible.
The boxes are 15-20 pounds, so volunteers need to be able to lift that much.
You can apply to be a volunteer at: https://people-emergency-center.herokuapp.com/
We require that our volunteers have clearances that are no more then 30 days old on the first day that they volunteer. When you register, the system will give you information on which clearances are required from you.
