Important Note for Required Service
The Food Bank is only able to support attorney-recommended and/or court-ordered community service for individuals charged with minor traffic violations, excluding DUIs or DWIs. We cannot accept service requirements for any other charges — and all community service requests must be reviewed and approved prior to volunteering with us.
Email the Volunteer Coordinator at your desired location to begin the review process. The Food Bank cannot verify volunteer hours for community service unless it has been reviewed and approved prior to the shift.
