Volunteering

Group Volunteer Opportunities 

Groups are an invaluable part of our food bank operations. We offer opportunities for teams, clubs, and organizations to volunteer together. Group volunteers typically spend most of their time filling food boxes and restocking shelves, but we’re also open to other projects that help improve the food bank’s services.

Group Volunteers

We welcome groups of all sizes, including:

    •    Church groups

    •    School clubs and sports teams

    •    Scouts and youth organizations

    •    Community organizations

    •    Corporate volunteer groups

 

Groups also receive a short orientation, where they’ll learn about the food bank’s mission, the people we serve, and the impact of their work. Whether you’re looking for a one-time volunteer experience or a recurring opportunity, we’ll tailor the experience to meet your needs.

Individual Volunteer Opportunties 

Our volunteers come from all walks of life, united by a shared desire to help others. We don’t require much from you other than a heart for service and a commitment to our mission. Here are a few ways you can contribute:
