Ways to Volunteer
Whether you’re an individual, part of a group, or volunteering as a corporate team, we offer a variety of opportunities to get involved.
- Traditional Volunteer Roles: These flexible, one-time volunteer shifts include sorting and packing food, supporting food distributions, or helping at special events. They’re great for individuals or groups and typically require little to no training, just advance registration.
- Ongoing Involvement: For those looking to volunteer on a regular basis, we offer roles that support deliveries, office operations, warehouse customer service, and more. Some roles require training or specific skills, like driving or administrative support.
- Leadership Positions: Experienced volunteers can take on leadership roles as Volunteer Team Leaders. These individuals support other volunteers, help manage projects, and contribute to the growth of our volunteer program.
