Bring a Buddy!

Do you have a friend, family member, or neighbor who is interested in volunteering with Open Cupboard? Bring them to Open Cupboard with our Buddy Program.

Volunteers can now reserve a spot for a Buddy to join them on their scheduled shift with no additional orientation required!

  • Your Buddy will accompany you during your entire shift.
  • Once your Buddy has completed their first shift, they will be able to sign up for volunteer shifts on their own after they complete a volunteer form.
  • Please limit to 2 Buddy Pass requests per shift.
  • Your Buddy will be required to sign our Liability Waiver on-site.

To complete your Buddy Pass, please follow the link below and complete the simple request form.

Bring a Buddy Form

We will contact your buddy through email to get the information needed to open a volunteer profile for that person.


Important Note: We are still working with a limited number of volunteers per shift. If your Buddy Pass exceeds the available number of volunteer spots for that shift, we will request that you choose another date.
