The IC Food Sharing Cabinet is in need of summer volunteers to be Cabinet Caretakers! Volunteers will redistribute food from the IC Pantry to the Food Sharing Cabinet and complete general caretaking tasks (cleaning, organizing, etc.). This summer opportunity is a once a week commitment with caretaking activities taking about 20-30 minutes each shift. 

Cabinet Caretakers join a small community of fellow IC community members who are dedicated to campus food security efforts. This is a great way to stay connected to your IC community. 

Interested volunteers can contact Elizabeth Jesch at ejesch@ithaca.edu 

What is the IC Food Sharing Cabinet? This cabinet is a small food pantry open to all IC community members to take or donate non-perishable food and personal care products. You can visit this blue cabinet outside Muller Chapel.
