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.
To Host a Food Drive, please email [email protected].
Volunteer Spotlight
We have a very special Volunteer of the Month for the month of September. This volunteer is near and dear to all of the GO Pantry team, but especially to our Finance Director, Laura Dumancic. Laura’s husband, Dom, has a strong presence at the GO Pantry warehouse, and if you’ve met Dom, you won’t forget him! He is always willing to help but you never know when that might be or what might happen!
Several years ago, Dom went to purchase a new car for Laura. He came home with a big pick-up truck. That wasn’t what Laura was expecting! Dom said it was perfect, that they could use it for GO Pantry. Little did he know how often he would be “voluntold” by his wife and the GO Pantry team to make deliveries and pick ups for us. Dom has such a kind and giving heart and always helps when needed.
Dom also handles many of the “techy” things that need taken care of at GO Pantry. He recently helped hook up a new printer in our office. He also helped install our security cameras and door bell. (FYI the doorbell is broken so that’s on his to do list.) Can someone out there tell him we need it fixed?!? Seriously, Dom is a big help and we appreciate all he does for GP. Thank you, Dom!

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!
