Our Group Volunteer Team helps complete important behind-the-scenes work that keeps our operations running smoothly. These team-based shifts are perfect for workplaces, schools, community groups, and clubs looking to volunteer together in a meaningful and hands-on way.

What Your Group Will Do

Depending on the needs of the day, group volunteers may support with:

• Hamper Preparation – Assembling hampers or stocking distribution areas so clients receive the right items.
• Distributing food – Provide guidance by informing clients about the number of items they are allowed to take from each station, helping ensure the distribution runs smoothly and efficiently.
• Warehouse tasks- Restocking shelves, and keeping shared spaces tidy.
• Special Projects  – Supporting programs, large donation days, or one time projects that need extra hands.

All training is provided and staff are present throughout the shift. Please note that some lifting (approximately 10–20 lbs) may be required during volunteer activities.
