VOLUNTEER
Share your time, talents and generosity to help our food bank end hunger.
Volunteers Fuel Our Hunger Relief
So much of our food bank operations rely on the time, talents and generosity of volunteers. From food sorting and packing to client assistance and skill-based projects, volunteers serve side-by-side with our employees as we work together to end hunger.
Every day, you’ll find volunteers busy readying food for the community from inside our Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, volunteer center, assisting low-income households with SNAP applications and senior food boxes, and bringing expert knowledge to special strategic projects
