Volunteering with the Food Bank

In 2024, more than 150 members of our community served as volunteers at the Food Bank. Their 7,000+ hours of service made a big difference in our capacity to fight hunger! Volunteers work in all aspects of the Food Bank: truck driving and grocery order packing, food sorting and truck unloading, cardboard flattening and double bagging, office administration help and garden tending.
