Volunteers are critical to our mission.

People of diverse experiences share their time, energy and talents through a variety of jobs. These include stocking of the store's shelves, sorting food, interviewing clients, entering data, bagging groceries, cleaning, repacking perishable food, collecting donated goods, and delivering food to senior citizens.

Other opportunities to volunteer throughout the year include the holiday food drive, postal carrier food drive, newsletter collation, assistance with Kids Cafe, as well as our summer free lunch program for children. Volunteers are always needed.

Benefits include:

• Gaining safe food handling experience
• Gaining knowledge of basic nutrition
• Gaining work experience and a job reference
• Learning about hunger issues
• Being part of a progressive approach to end hunger locally and nationally
• Becoming part of a strong network of community agencies that are also feeding families
