Volunteer
Volunteers are the heart of Iron Gate. Our gate is open every day. With the help of our volunteers, we feed guests through our soup kitchen, grocery pantry, and Kid’s Pantry. Organize a group of volunteers from your church, school, work, or volunteer as an individual. All volunteers must complete the form below.

This policy is valid beginning May 9, 2022.
