Hunger Relief

Individuals and families along with congregations, groups and clubs are welcome to help us feed Ohio’s hungry families. There are no special qualifications to volunteer other than a kind heart and a willingness to help those in need.

Your service with the LSS Network of Hope is so important to helping us create a better world by serving people in need. Please join us!

LSS Food Pantries

Customer Service Volunteers

Help Desk volunteers help customers without internet access place food orders and schedule pick-up times over the phone using our online ordering system.

Check-in volunteers greet and check in customers at our pantry distribution points using our computerized check in.

Customer Service Volunteers should be age 16 and older, have basic phone and computer skills, and great listening and communication skills.  Training is required and volunteers are asked to commit to recurring volunteer shifts.

Once trained, Customer Service Volunteers can assist at the help desk (located at the Champion Ave pantry site in Franklin County) or at any distribution point across central and southern Ohio.

Distribution Point Volunteers

Pantry distributions are a great place for individuals, families and groups to volunteer!

Volunteers will fill food orders placed by LSS Food Pantry clients and assist those shopping for fresh produce, bread and meat.  Individuals and groups of up to 12 people (age 12 and older) are needed to volunteer at each pantry distribution.  Some volunteers will need to lift up to 25 pounds.  On the spot training is provided.
