Cart to Cupboard needs you to help us meet our goals!
Volunteering with Cart to Cupboard is a great service opportunity for school or religious groups, students looking for experience with non-profit organizations, and adults of all ages looking to get involved in their community. We can also arrange internship or more extensive service-learning opportunities upon request. Cart to Cupboard volunteers meet new people and learn new things, all while making a real difference in the lives of homebound community members.
The individuals served by Cart to Cupboard have spent their lives serving their families, communities, and country. It's time to give back to them and enable a high quality of life.
We are looking for volunteers who are friendly and responsible. All volunteers will go through an orientation and training. Volunteers must be able to pass a criminal background check. Those who will be driving must have a clean driving record and will have mileage reimbursed (50 cents/mile). We do our best to match volunteers with customers who live in the same area of Isanti County, though this is not always possible depending on volunteer availability and/or the needs of customers. We appreciate your commitment to our mission and look forward to working with you!

Shop for customer orders at the grocery store
Pick up items from other locations (library, drug store, etc.) to complete a customer order
