Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday

Volunteer Shifts: 7:30 AM - 10:30 AM / 10:15 AM - 2:30 PM, Thursdays 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM.

Note that distribution for clients is now 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM. Volunteer shift arrival is set a bit earlier to ensure folks arrive and get set-up to begin by 9:00, and the shift is extended till 2:30 in case of a large influx of clients around 2:00 PM. For any questions or concerns please email us at volunteer@communityfoodbank.org.

Distribution volunteers may assist with the following tasks:

  • Taking client tickets
  • Loading client grocery carts with emergency bags, senior boxes, and other food items
  • Help keep the flow of clients steady and appropriately distanced
  • Ensure that product is stocked on the back-end (opening product, keeping area clean of cardboard and trash)
  • Assisting in taking carts to client’s cars and returning the carts
  • Receiving carts from clients & returning them inside the building

For a safe and fulfilling volunteer experience, volunteers must complete the Good Manufacturing Practices training found under one’s account qualifications. One should feel comfortable working inside and standing for a majority of the shift in variable temperatures, and be able to perform physical work (more below). Basic Spanish is helpful, though by no means necessary!
