As an all-volunteer organization, The Pantry Plus More is always looking for passionate people to help our mission. There are multiple ways to get involved:

In-School Pantries

Volunteers work with school representatives to stock in-school pantries which are customized to meet the needs of each school’s students. Volunteers also work with school representatives to deliver weekend food bags for identified students.

Regularly Scheduled Food Distributions

PPM is dedicated to providing families with food, either by delivering weekly to families who are referred for home delivery or through monthly or more frequent distributions from sites around the County. To participate in either program, families must have children in the Mon County school system. Volunteers are always needed to prepare supplies, deliver to families or staff distribution sites.

Mobile Food Giveaway

A partnership with Mountaineer Food Bank, this food giveaway distributes more than 12,000 lbs of foods to people in need. These monthly, Saturday morning events typically require 60 volunteers who are capable of lifting 40-lb food boxes and are committed to staying for the entire 4-hour event.


Our Board is always looking for people with a passion for helping those in need.
