support your neighbors
Each year, volunteers serve over 14,000 hours and help distribute over 1 million pounds of food. In 2023 over 535 unique volunteers contributed their time and efforts! In order to ensure the needs of our customers are met and to provide exceptional customer service, it takes 20-25 volunteers to run the food bank when we are open for distribution.
Without the support of our volunteers here at the food bank, we would not be able to provide so many services to our customers. There are many ways to offer your expertise here at the food bank. Please consider giving some of your time to support the community.
