Volunteer Opportunities by Location

Whether you’re an individual supporter or represent a large group, there are a host of opportunities to help bring us closer to a future where no one goes hungry — no matter where we live, where we’re from, or the color of our skin.

Make a difference in our community

Did you know that a single person will pack enough food in a volunteer shift to fuel more than 160 meals for local families? From sorting food in our warehouses, to distributing resources in the community, to advocating for stronger safety nets, volunteers are the heart and soul of our work at the Food Bank
