Volunteering at the Foodbank

Thank you for your willingness to give your time to help the Foodbank.  Volunteers are an important part of our efforts to alleviate hunger. With the help of groups and individual volunteers from all walks of life, we are able to prepare food for distribution more quickly to get it directly into the hands of those in need.  If you would like to volunteer, please fill out the form below so we can best match you with your interests, availability, and skills. We’ll also put you on our volunteer newsletter list so you can stay up-to-date on all our volunteering opportunities.

Please review our Volunteer Guidelines for groups and individuals before submitting the form to make sure our volunteer opportunities are a good fit.

***Please note:  Any volunteer 10 to 13 should be accompanied by a responsible adult; one adult per each child. We regret that we cannot take volunteers under the age of ten.***
