You may wish to get involved with the general operations of the food bank. These activities include sorting donated food and assembling hamper for clients.
You may be interested in working outside, if so we have programs the involve collecting donated fruit and vegetables. One option is a Harvest Mob. A Harvest Mob involves a team of Food Bank volunteers visiting a farm and harvesting donated produce from the field.
We also have a Buy Local, Share Local program that runs from booths at 3 local farmers markets. Donations of fresh produce are collected at these booths from market shopper and venders. There is an ongoing need for volunteers to staff the booths. Our booth at the Western Fair Farmers and Artisans Market operates year round.
