Opportunity Details
Take a Tour of Our Food Pantry and Clothing Closet
Brief Organizational Description:
Belmont Community Resource Services is a strong and dependable food and clothing pantry that serves community residents who struggle each month to make ends meet so that we may help catch those who are falling. The Belmont Pantry is supported by a small staff and a network of hard working volunteers who sort donated foods, pack weekly bags, and serve all who come to the pantry every Friday (over 700 families each week). The Closet at Belmont is a free store in which our neighbors can shop for clothes, shoes, housewares, small appliances (for cooking), hygiene items, toys, books, and so much more! We also stock sturdy reusable bags, rolling suitcases, and adult backpacks to support those who walk, bike, or take the bus and need help transporting their food and clothing home.
