Why We Volunteer - Storehouse Slideshow

Why We Volunteer

The Community Storehouse relies on dedicated, generous community members who volunteer their time to ensure that the essential emergency operations of our agency are fulfilled.

Featured in this slideshow are the voices of Nancy Nelson, founder of the Community Storehouse; Bobbi Bird, full-time volunteer; and Linda Allen, part-time volunteer.

THANK YOU to all our volunteers!

Piedmont Governor’s School - Food Drive

The junior and senior classes of the Piedmont Governor’s School for Mathematics, Science & Technology recently held a food drive benefiting the Community Storehouse. The drive focused on child-friendly foods that will be used in the agency ‘Food for Kids: School Backpack Program’. Items donated ranged from cereal to kids’ snacks.

At the conclusion of the drive, students were allotted time to learn about hunger in our community and how their donations will be used by the Storehouse. “I’d like to thank the students, teachers, and administration for participating in this event & for the partnership that has been developed between our agency and the school for future successful drives. A special thank you is due to Dr. Nina Huff for her efforts in coordinating the drive,” said Travis Adkins, assistant executive director & public information officer, Community Storehouse.

YMCA Donates Backpacks

After the Community Storehouse front-page feature in the Martinsville Bulletin, explaining the progress and needs of the ‘Food for Kids: School Backpack Program’ the local YMCA stepped up to the plate and donated over 30 new backpacks for use in the program!
