HOW YOU CAN HELP VOLUNTEER:
Our volunteers are instrumental to food distribution in our 24-county service region. Our 800+ agency partners rely on us to be sure that the children, seniors, families, veterans, and pets that they serve have access to healthy foods. As a safety precaution, we are asking volunteers and staff to stay at home if they experience any symptoms of illness, or if they have traveled to high-risk locations within the last 30 days.
At this time, volunteer sessions are planned to run as scheduled, however, due to many company policies during the virus outbreak, quite a few of regular groups have had to cancel their shifts. We are in desperate need of volunteers to help fill those shifts. The Food Bank is taking every safety precaution for our volunteers and staff including:
