Volunteer Opportunities

COMPA Ministries has a network of some 3,500 volunteers that devote their time to helping us serve those less fortunate in our community. Our volunteers range from school and church groups to extended families and co-workers to singles and couples. Ages range from little infants helping out in the gleaning fields to senior citizens help sort and distribute food. Volunteers assist in various areas, including sorting, distribution and pre-production food preparation, as well as in our Project Glean program during harvest season. We also have volunteers needs in administration and basic office work.

Volunteer positions that COMPA utilizes on a regular basis include, but are not limited to: 

• Food Processors - cleaning, cutting and sorting fresh fruits and vegetables for use in soups or repackaging for distribution
• Food Sorters - sorting produce and canned goods, dry goods, beverages, and non-food items and repackaging for distribution
• Warehouse Sanitation - general warehouse maintanance (sweeping, cleaning, mopping, trash removal, etc.)
• Office Assistance - general office and administrative tasks
• Gleaners - Seasonal harvest on local farms during September and October

COMPA also accepts general community service volunteers, such as those seeking to meet high school graduation requirements, as well as, certain individuals participating in court-ordered community service programs.

If you are interested in volunteering with us, please download our volunteer application. Bring the completed application and release form with you, so we have the proper paperwork on file. It must be completed in its entirety and signed before we can allow you to volunteer.
