Volunteer with us
We rely on an amazing network of volunteers to keep our pantries running smoothly. While our Sadler Pantry is self-service, volunteers help restock it three times a week (M-Th-F) by transporting products from Wesley. Volunteers also support operations at the Wesley Pantry during each shift by accepting donations, assisting visitors, and managing inventory.
To volunteer at either the Wesley or Sadler Pantry, all volunteers must complete a mandatory training session. Trainings are offered multiple times at the beginning of each semester, including during our introductory meeting, and take approximately 15 minutes to complete. All dates will be posted in our GroupMe. If your schedule does not allow you to attend any of our training sessions, please reach out to foodforall@wm.edu.
Once you’ve been trained and registered in our system, sign up for volunteer shifts on our GivePulse (heads up–you’ll need to be logged into your W&M account). We look forward to seeing you at the pantry!
Join the club
While our main operations are keeping our pantries up and running, we also have weekly gen bod meetings Tuesdays at 7pm in Tucker 222 dedicated to education, advocacy, and community building.
Previous meetings have involved planting in the Wesley community garden, assembling shelves for the pantries, making hygiene kits for Valentine’s Day, learning about food insecurity in Virginia, food trivia, and much more! No sign-up or prior experience necessary.
Executive team meetings are also open to any William & Mary students who wish to see the behind the scenes of our work––email us beforehand if you would like to be present.
For more information, join our mailing list and our GroupMe.

Associate chair positions (previously member-to-exec) are available each Spring semester. Shadow a member of our exec board and carry out an independent project to get experience with what we do!
