Opportunities for connection
We’re deeply grateful for the thousands of incredible volunteers who join us in our humble fight against hunger. With open hearts and rolled-up sleeves, our volunteers are the backbone of our mission. Whether you have an hour to spare or a day to dedicate, we invite you to join us.
Volunteer centers
Picture a room filled with laughter, teamwork, and a shared mission. In the Volunteer Center, we pack food generously donated by farmers and food companies. We break down these bulk donations as quickly as we can to serve people facing hunger. It’s a lot of work, and it’s a lot of fun!
The Kitchen
The Kitchen is where people come together to whip up a simple recipe in a fun and informative atmosphere. We get hands-on creating tasty, nutritious, budget-friendly meals. Enthusiastic volunteers are our secret ingredient for success!
Super volunteers

Volunteer drivers
Calling all volunteers with a passion for the open road! Get behind the wheel of one of our vans and help us pick up donations, transport them to local food banks, and deliver hope to schools across the region. Your skills and dedication will be the driving force in ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry. So, rev up your engines and join our team of road warriors today.
Employer Matching
Your gift of time or money could be matched by your employer. Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees, retirees, and/or employee spouses. Check with your human resource department to confirm if a matching program exists and multiply your impact today!
Perfect for:
Folks who find it tough to reach traditional food banks or grocery stores. If transportation is a challenge, this one’s for you!
