Training: Volunteers must attend a training before volunteering in the food pantry. Trainings are offered bi-monthly.
Location: Most volunteer activities take place at 254 Agler Rd, Gahanna, and typically last 2–4 hours.
Commitment: Volunteer schedules are flexible. Some volunteers show up regularly; others join more sporadically — both are welcome.
Questions? Our Volunteer Coordinator, Audra, is here to help you get started. Reach her at volunteer@motherful.org.

Become a Motherful Volunteer

Our resource pantry is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 pm–6:00 pm, and Sundays from 9:00 am–12:00 pm. Volunteers greet moms, compost, clean, organize, and manage the resource table.
Do you enjoy connecting with young people? We’re looking for volunteers to plan and facilitate activities for the kids during our Sunday open houses, as well as volunteers to help with child watch.
Motherful matches tutors with children in the collective who need tutoring support. Please let us know on the form which areas of learning you have experience tutoring.
Volunteers deliver food boxes to moms’ homes on Friday morning/early afternoon. We’re currently seeking additional drivers to join this team. You don’t need to be available every Friday.
Motherful has a beautiful garden space where we grow food and herbs. Gardeners of all experience levels are welcome.
Motherful hosts and attends events with our community partners. Volunteers are needed to assist with setup/clean up, serving food, and sharing literature and information about Motherful resources.
We are seeking volunteers to host a donation drive at your place of work or within your community. A list of needed food pantry items will be provided. We are also seeking volunteers to build relationships with local businesses for donations. This is a great job for people who need a very flexible volunteer schedule.
Interested in hosting a fundraiser for Motherful within your own network? We have ideas and tools to make it fun and easy, and all contributions are tax-deductible.
