Volunteers Power the Mission
The food bank depends on volunteers to help sort, organize and pack food donations. Whether you have a couple of hours a month or a day each week to give, your time and effort will directly help feed families facing food insecurity. Tasks range from unloading trucks and sorting canned goods to assisting with meal packing events. No experience is required, just a desire to serve the community.
