Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Food Bank. We have weekday and weekend volunteer opportunities—perfect for individuals and groups—helping prepare food donations for distribution and distributing food at mobile food pantries.

We have new health and safety processes (including volunteer eligibility requirements) in place to keep our volunteers, staff, and clients safe. Before signing up to volunteer, please review the important information and instructions provided in our Frequently Asked Questions here.
