Volunteer Now

Volunteer repack sessions in our warehouse are essential to our daily impact! Typical activities include:

•  Repack bulk products into family-sized portions
•  Sort and categorize donated food items
•  Glean fresh produce items and bread

The FRESH Truck is a partnership with local health centers to provide food for people facing food insecurity. Working with community healthcare providers, volunteers assist with client intake, restocking produce and more.

Volunteers must be at least 16 years old, or 11 or older with an adult. Volunteers who speak Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi and Vietnamese are especially needed.

Two-person teams deliver fresh produce to our network of member agencies each weekday morning, as well as food for Healthy Student Markets. Volunteers drive the summer Lunch Bus to distribute children’s meals. Vehicles are provided. Volunteer drivers must go through an application process. Drivers must be at least 21 years old and willing to commit to regular volunteering. Contact us for more information.

Throughout the year, volunteers help at a variety of off-site events and food collections. These events include:
•  Food rescue at industry trade shows
•  Seasonal corn and squash harvests
•  Holiday food drive collections

Check the calendar for more information on these events as they are announced.

One Saturday per month, the Food Depository hosts a Kids Day. These repack sessions are designated for families or groups with children ages 5-11. We welcome families and groups of up to 8 volunteers with one adult for every two children. During winter and summer breaks, we also host bonus Kids Days. Check the calendar for Kids Day availability.
