A few things you should know:

We encourage our volunteers to dress comfortably. Our Volunteer Center is climate controlled, so we recommend dressing in layers.

Please make sure to wear a shirt with sleeves (no tank tops or cut offs). Many company volunteer groups wear company t-shirts to show their workplace pride!
All volunteers must wear close toed shoes (no sandals or flip flops). We recommend wearing comfortable tennis shoes, as most of your session will involve standing.

All volunteer tasks are assigned based on product availability and designed to “Feed the Greatest Need” of the Food Bank that day.
Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. We do welcome younger children ages 10-15, but they must be supervised by an adult.

If you would like to bring a child between the ages of 10 and 15 in to volunteer, there must be one adult to every five children present.
