Volunteers

*With the arrival of spring and summer, please remember to wear close-toe shoes.  Due to the warehouse environment sandals and flip-flops are not allowed at the Food Bank.

The Worcester County Food Bank offers the following volunteer opportunities to individuals and small groups:

• Sorting and inspecting donated food and grocery product

• Food drives

• Special events as needed

Most of our volunteers help sort donated food and grocery product.  Our volunteers have a direct impact on people who are hungry in Worcester County.  They sort approximately 2 million pounds of food per year, which is then distributed to emergency-feeding programs located throughout Worcester County. 

• We encourage volunteers to come in once a week for 2-3 hours.

• The Food Bank is open for volunteering Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM.

• Minimum age for volunteering is 13.  Volunteers under 16 years of age must be supervised by an adult.

• All volunteers are required to complete an application, participate in orientation, and schedule hours in advance. 

Please contact the Food Bank at info@foodbank.org or 508-842-3663 for more information about volunteering. 

If we are unable to accommodate your volunteer needs at the present time, you may want to refer to the Community Harvest Project's website: www.fftn.org
All of the produce grown by the Community Harvest Project is donated to the Worcester County Food Bank for distribution throughout Worcester County.
