Lend a Helping Hand

One of the greatest assets the SPFB has are our volunteers. I mentioned the weekly volunteers in yesterday's blog; today I want to tell you how you, too, can get involved! We welcome volunteers, both individual and group, at any time. Below I've listed a few ways we utilize volunteers.

• Preparing donated foods and hygiene items for distribution: such as, sorting donated food; repackaging dry and frozen food; packing dry, frozen, and hygiene boxes.


• Helping in the kitchen.


• Working at reception desk (good telephone/people skills needed).


• Planning and working at various Food Bank on-going functions and special events.


• Opportunities are also available at Second Helpings soup kitchens and Kids Cafe programs. Contact the Food Bank for referrals to volunteer with these programs.

This spring I brought a group of high school sophomores to volunteer and not only were they able to lend a helping hand but we had a blast! They couldn't wait to get back out here ... from teenagers!! They laughed, they worked hard and they were given the opportunity to help others.
