Event Notes

Close-toed shoes required for each location.

Please note age requirements for minors.

This Summer, we’re continuing with a more hands-on approach to engaging our city missionally by partnering again with CityServe and The Arkansas Foodbank! We want to be faithful to our calling to be the hands and feet of Jesus alongside ministries already doing great work for the least, the last, the lost - and the hungry.

Grab a friend (and prepare to make some!) and sign up to serve for any of the four service slots we've booked.

FAQs

  • What will we be doing?
    CityServe empowers local Arkansas churches to support their communities by providing them with donated goods. These churches distribute the items to people in need. CityServe receives these goods, often returned products from major retailers like Amazon and Home Depot, at their warehouse. Our role in the warehouse is to receive and sort these pallets of goods, preparing them for delivery to the churches.

    At The Arkansas Foodbank, volunteers sort and process donated food times in the warehouse to ensure only safe and suitable food is distributed. This involves inspecting, organizing, and packing food for delivery to partner agencies like food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters across the state.

  • What if I can’t make a slot…or it’s filled?
    It’s no problem! We have a strong relationship with these ministries. They have dozens of available days. Simply contact their Point Person (they know you’re calling) and set up at a time that works for you and your crew.
  • How about my kids?
    Due to the nature of warehouses:
    - Arkansas Foodbank minimum age is 8 years old
    - City Serve minimum age is 12 years old

  • What do I bring?
    Wear close-toed shoes and bring a big water bottle and work gloves.
    All work will be done indoors, so sunscreen and bug spray shouldn’t be necessary. But it’s still hot!
