Volunteer Opportunities
The 20,000 square foot Community Warehouse functions almost entirely on volunteers. We have dozens of individuals of all ages who come in to help for 2 hours to several days per week. There is a joy in serving others together that can’t be beat. We also welcome church or business groups. You’ll have fun while making a big impact on our community.
Some of the jobs you may do when you volunteer:
- Take large bags of dog food and make them into smaller boxes
- Work in the main store helping to stock items and help people who are shopping
- Sort items out of boxes and into rounders so people can shop easily
- Stock shelves
- Make lunch for the team of volunteers – We will even provide all the ingredients
- Sweep and clean the floor; learning how to use the floor machine
- Sort and hang clothing
- Make flower bouquets
- If qualified, you could drive forklifts or a box truck doing pickups around Tucson

Free Food Shopping
Hungry? Need a little help stretching your grocery budget? Come and get food. You do not need an ID or to be a member of a special club. Each week we receive shipments of various food items that are always different. These include fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, milk products, bread, and other perishable items. We also have some nonperishable items available. You may come and pick out what you need. There are limits on the number of items you may take, depending on the abundance we receive each week. But you may come back every day that the warehouse is open.

Partnering with Local Nonprofits
Did you know that local nonprofits can pick up perishable food every Tuesday morning for free?
GAP Ministries loves to build community through partnering with other non-profit organizations to help those in need. Working together to share the abundance God provides allows more food and other items to go out to those in our city who are desperately in need.
How does it work?
- We give out between 100 and 500 pounds of perishable food per organization. We just ask that you have a way to keep it cool or can distribute it the same day.
- Nonprofits can’t sell it or ask for donations – it must be given away
- You will need a pickup truck or a large SUV
- You will need to have a nonprofit tax ID
If you have questions or would like to be a part of building community with us, please email Community Warehouse Director Matt Clauer at matt@gapmin.com
