Volunteers are Awesome
Volunteer at a GO Pantry Event!
We couldn’t do it without you! We need awesome volunteers to help at community events and at the warehouse. Warehouse duties might include date checking and sorting donations, packing GO Boxes and GO Bags, loading and stacking boxes on pallets, taking plastic off canned goods, etc. Most of our shifts are on weekdays, but we also offer some weekend and evening shifts.
We use SignUp.com to get the word out about volunteer events. The sign-ups give all the specifics including date, shift times, shift descriptions, etc. If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the form below. Thank you.
Watch our video on how to pack a GO Bag. Ever wonder how we pack our weekend GO Bags to ensure that the food gets safely to the schools? Thanks to our incredible volunteers from St. Henry District High School for demonstrating on how to properly pack a weekend GO Bag.
Have you ever wondered how GO Pantry prepares Summer GO Boxes? Each step is meticulously handled, from checking the food’s expiration to precise packaging and swift delivery. Here’s a glimpse into our process of filling GO Boxes to fill hungry bellies in Northern Kentucky and surrounding counties.

Volunteer to Host a Food Drive
It’s easier than you might think! One of the best ways you can support GO Pantry is by hosting your own food drive. Get creative… work with your kids, co-workers, fellow church members, neighbors, sports teams, retail stores, gym, etc.
Watch this video to see just how easy it can be to host a neighborhood food drive. Not only will you collect much needed items, you will also help spread the word about GO Pantry the kids we are working so hard to help.

Volunteer Spotlight
Three years ago, Dana Locklear started volunteering with GO Pantry while looking for service opportunities for her middle schooler. She liked it so much that she kept coming back, both alone and with her daughter, who is now in 11th grade. She loves being able to help others while also modeling for her children what we are called on to do as Christians…love, serve, and take care of one another.
Dana’s favorite part about GO Pantry is the people. She says, “The people who work in the GO Pantry warehouse are very welcoming and passionate about what they do. I also enjoy meeting other volunteers. It’s a great environment to be in. It makes you want to keep coming back.” We love having you, too, Dana!
Dana is also passionate about our mission, feeding hungry children. As a former elementary school teacher, she knows how hard it is for children to learn when they are hungry and worrying about food.
In her spare time, Dana likes spending time with her family and friends. She is her kids’ biggest fan at sporting, band, art, and 4H events. She also enjoys traveling, crafting and crocheting. In addition to GO Pantry, she likes to volunteer for events at her kids’ schools and other organizations in Northern Kentucky.
Dana, we are so happy that you find time in your busy schedule to volunteer at GO Pantry every chance you get! We are so grateful for you!

Kids’ Age Requirement
Because we work in a busy warehouse with lots of moving equipment, we ask kids to be 12+ to work at a warehouse event, and we request kids 12-14 bring an adult with them to work directly with them.
We have lots of groups of young kids that find other creative ways to help too. Other groups of students have worked together to do food drives within their schools, neighborhoods, sports teams, church groups, etc.
We can share with you more details if this is something you might like to try with your kids
Waiver for Minors
All volunteers need to complete a waiver before working at GO Pantry warehouse events.
If you are a minor, please have your guardian complete the waiver prior to event and bring it with you to your volunteer shift. Thanks!
