Types of Volunteer Opportunities

  1. Warehouse Volunteer: Sign up for a shift volunteering at our warehouse. As a Warehouse Volunteer, you’ll assist with tasks such as sorting donations, bagging vegetables, and preparing food boxes.
  2. Food Distributor: Food distributors are the face of Food for Others. They directly interact with items and help them select the items they need.
  3. Power Pack: As a Power Pack volunteer, you will help assemble and/or distribute weekend meal packs for students in need. The Power Pack program also needs drivers to help deliver to schools.
  4. Neighborhood Sites: Neighborhood site volunteers pick up food from our Warehouse location and then distribute it at our neighborhood sites.
  5. Food Pick-Ups: You can help Food for Others recover food from local grocery stores. During the summer, there are often food pick up opportunities available at farmers markets as well.
