Corporate/Group Volunteering

Why Should We Volunteer?

Volunteering as a group is a great team building exercise, and a great way to give back to your community.  We will provide a full orientation and tour, then set you up with meaningful tasks that will have you interacting with other volunteers and making a difference in the lives of hungry children and adults in your community.

What do Volunteer Groups Do?

Volunteer Groups help us by:

• Doing various tasks in the warehouse: sorting food, picking agency orders, cleaning/organizing  – the jobs posted on our white board are different every day!
• Assisting with administrative tasks such as stuffing envelopes

When Can We Volunteer? Who Can Volunteer?

• Half and full day shifts are available, Monday through Thursday – 9:30am-12:00pm and/or 12:30pm-3:00pm.
• We can accommodate groups of up to 8 people per shift and are happy to split larger groups into multiple shifts on the same day.
• We do not have weekend or evening volunteer opportunities in the warehouse other than during the Spring and Fall Drives. We have occasional weekend/evening event opportunities (handing out donation bags at grocery stores, etc.) so if you wish to be notified of these opportunities, please register.
• Our warehouse is restricted to adults only during the day, however Wednesday evenings from 5:00-7:00pm are available for youth groups (Scouts, sports teams, etc.) that have their own adult supervision.  Please discuss these options with a member of our staff.
