The Churches Unied Hunger Ministries are made possible by over 500
generous, hardworking and dedicated volunteers. Volunteers do a variety
of things to help the operation of their food pantries, including: packing
boxes/bags of food to give to clients, assisting in volunteer coordination,
gathering groceries and donations to stock the food pantry shelves,
transporting donated items from the food bank or local stores, and hosting
Food Drives.
Donations to support the Churches United Hunger Ministries can be made
online through the Virtual Food Pantry or through their website. For every
dollar donated, Churches United can purchase 6 lb. of food, so a financial
contribution to Churches United can go a long way to helping hunger in the
Quad City area.
Contact their office to find out more about how to help or to sign up to
volunteer.
