Volunteer

Kendall Whittier Incorporated is a home-grown organization incorporating self-sufficiency
for our neighbors through food security, nutritional health, and well-being.

Volunteer

With just five part-time staff members working one-quarter to three-quarter time each week, Kendall Whittier, Inc. relies heavily upon the generosity of hundreds of volunteers to make our programs successful. From annual work parties in one of our gardens to making weekly food bag deliveries and truck runs from Tulsa’s mulch site to picking up our monthly inventory from the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, if you have time to offer be it one Saturday a year or a half-hour a week, we’d love to hear from you!

We need volunteers for both of our community gardens, the Emergency Food Pantry, and for our community events. If you have an interest in volunteering for KWI, please contact us admin@kendallwhittierinc.org. We will happily provide documentation of Service Hours for students who need them for school.

Volunteers needed for the Emergency Food Pantry:

 

  • Weekly to pack groceries for deliveries (Monday through Friday).
