Volunteering is such an integral part of the success of the Foodbank. It’s a great way to get involved in your community and help those that are less fortunate. Last year, a total of 47,549 hours were volunteered to support the Foodbank’s mission of distributing food effectively through collaborative efforts that minimize hunger, promote nutrition and encourage self-reliance through education. These hours were a result of individuals volunteering at the Foodbank facility, special fundraising events, and at USDA distribution sites. Because of our dedicated volunteers, we are able to provide additional resources to help provide food and hope to the many hungry families struggling in our community. Every hour makes a difference to those in need of food assistance.

Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, have fun, and make a difference in someone’s life, and yours. The Foodbank appreciates all the time you share in support of hunger relief.

Dress Policy

The Foodbank is a professional organization and our appearance is based in part on how we dress. Just as the staff must follow a dress code, so do the volunteers. We are team members working together towards a common goal, so please follow these simple guidelines when dressing to volunteer at the Foodbank.

Sneakers and work boots are the only acceptable footwear option. (no flip flops or sandals)
No "suggestive" clothing. This includes, but is not limited to short shorts, mini-skirts, halter,tank, midriff or see-through tops.
No baggy or low hanging pants. Excessively baggy clothing is a safety risk in a warehouse.
