Not every Levite could be a high priest, but each Levite still had duties to fulfill, although those duties did not get the recognition that the duties of the high priest received,

Now some of them were in charge of the serving vessels, for they brought them in and took them out by count. Some of them were appointed over the furnishings and over all the implements of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the incense and the spices. And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices. Mattithiah of the Levites, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the trusted office over the things that were baked in the pans. And some of their brethren of the sons of the Kohathites were in charge of preparing the showbread for every Sabbath (1 Chronicles 9.28–32). 

Some of them baked bread in pans. We do not know their names, but the Lord knows, and if they had not done their jobs, then the bread could not be put in the Holy Place in the tabernacle/temple.

Perhaps you do something that does not get recognized, but without you doing it, something important would be missing in the church. God bless you for what you do. He sees and He knows what you are doing.
