Join us for a Team Volunteer Day!
Our volunteer days are an incredible opportunity for team building and for your company to engage with the community, support the mission of the food bank, and connect with one another!
Assist us in preparing for our service days by receiving donations, organizing the warehouse, bagging food, and setting up our grocery area.
Ideal for groups of 5-10 people looking to make a tangible impact. Participating groups will also collaborate to fundraise for the food bank alongside the volunteer day.
