Opportunities From: The Salvation Army of Collier County

The Salvation Army is excited to partner with Collier County Public Schools to provide students in the Exceptional Student Education program with valuable work experience. Through this volunteer opportunity, students will take part in hands-on tasks that support our programs and services, helping them develop job skills, build confidence, and engage with the community in a meaningful way.

We are looking for dedicated volunteers to help unload food deliveries at our pantry. This role involves lifting and carrying boxes weighing 40–50 lbs, standing for extended periods, and moving food items into storage or distribution areas. Volunteers play a critical part in ensuring food is safely and efficiently handled for our community. This is a physically active position and perfect for individuals who want to make a hands-on impact. Requirements: Ability to lift and carry 40–50 lbs. Comfortable standing and moving for extended periods. Reliable, punctual, and able to work as part of a team. Commitment to serving the community in a respectful and compassionate manner.

Our food pantry focuses on distributing food items to those in need at our Naples administrative building. Food is a basic need for everyone, and everyone deserves to have food in their home. We can make that happen by the generosity of our volunteers and our donors. Volunteers assist the staff with organizing and sorting food items, while also helping with the distribution process to those in need. Volunteers make it possible for us to make a positive impact in our community. Volunteering in our food pantry is very rewarding and is an invaluable experience. We are happy to invite you to support our cause and to do the most good.

To volunteer in our food pantry, you must complete a volunteer application and background check. Please email megan.francis@uss.salvationarmy.org to start this process.

If you are interested, please respond to this opportunity, and we look forward to working with you!
