Why food pantry managers need task dispatch
Stop chasing volunteers: No more calling everyone individually or wondering if people will show up. Volunteers commit to specific tasks upfront.
Share the load: turn overwhelming volunteer coordination into manageable task posting. Let people choose how they want to help.
Build reliable teams: track who consistently shows up and recognize your dependable volunteers. Create a culture of commitment.
How volunteering software can help you
- Regular distribution days: break down big volunteer needs into manageable tasks, e.g. "Need 5 people for Tuesday setup, 8 for sorting, 3 for cleanup."
- Special food drives: rally extra volunteers for holiday distributions, back-to-school events, or emergency response efforts.
- Multi-site coordination: manage volunteers across different locations, pickup sites, or partner organizations from one place.
Automatic documentation
Show donors and supporters exactly how much volunteer time your food pantry mobilizes. Zelos gives you detailed volunteer hour reports without any data entry. When volunteers sign up and complete tasks, their participation is automatically logged with timestamps.
