Volunteers are critical to our vision of a future where no one goes hungry.

Each year during Volunteer Appreciation Month, we shine the spotlight on our supporters’ shared impact!

In a single shift, each volunteer will sort and pack enough food in a shift to fuel more than 160 meals for local families. Multiple that impact across a year of volunteer shifts and it’s the equivalent effort of 81 full-time staff!

Together over the past year, our volunteer community:

  • Sorted and packed enough food to fuel 27 million meals
  • Anchored more than 90 Pop-up Markets and food distributions
  • Provided monthly deliveries of pantry staples to 8,000+ seniors
  • And so much more!

Whether packing food deliveries for local seniors, sorting fresh produce that will go to partner agencies, or helping out at a Pop Up Market, we couldn’t do this work without our incredible volunteer corps.

“The fight against food insecurity never takes a day off, and I want to do my part in eliminating this critical need in our society for good.”

– Hoon Kong, Greenville volunteer

We celebrate the impact of our volunteers every day, but April is a special time to thank all of those who make it possible to carry out our critical mission.

We’re honored that thousands of people choose to invest their time in the fight to end hunger each year!
