Volunteering with Friends, Family, or a Group?
We love when volunteers bring others along!
Sign up and let us know who’s joining you so we can plan accordingly.
Part of an organization or faith community that would like to serve together? Please email pmontoya@thefooddepot.org to arrange a group shift.
What will I be doing?
You’ll help repack bulk produce or dry goods like pinto beans, rice, or cereal into family sized portions for distribution. It’s a simple, hands-on task that directly supports our neighbors.
Are children welcome?
Absolutely! Youth volunteers (under 18) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. These shifts are a great way to volunteer as a family.
