Volunteer Opportunities

The Food Bank relies on the incredible dedication of over 215 volunteers. Our volunteers play a critical role in the food bank’s success, generously contributing thousands of hours each year. They come together in various capacities, from collecting food donations within the community, to sorting and stocking shelves, to serving our valued clients and delivering food to those who lack access. Without these selfless individuals, the food bank simply wouldn’t be able to operate as smoothly as it does.

We express our heartfelt gratitude for their unwavering commitment to this noble cause and for generously giving thier time to help us achieve our vision of creating ‘A Community Where No One is Hungry’.

If you’re eager to join our extraordinary team of volunteers and can commit to a once-a-week, three-hour shift, we welcome you to complete the application below.

We will be in contact with you within 3 weeks of your application regarding next steps.
