10am–12pm Friday Warehouse Volunteer

Join us in the fight to End Hunger in Our Community! Your time and effort help provide nutritious food to our neighbors in need. Your support makes a meaningful impact—thank you for being part of this vital work!

As a Warehouse Volunteer at our Distribution Center, you’ll play a vital role in our operations by sorting and packaging fresh fruits and vegetables, assembling grocery boxes for seniors, and organizing donated non-perishable items for distribution to our neighbors in need. To learn more about this opportunity, watch our Warehouse Volunteer & Safety Guidelines video. (Click here for Spanish video)

Volunteer Shift Registration

• All volunteers, including children, must register individually before their shift. We welcome volunteers of all ages! However, since our Distribution Center is an active workspace, please use discretion when bringing young children. Volunteers aged 14 and older may participate without a parent or guardian.

• To be fully prepared, we require all volunteers to review our Volunteer Handbook, which covers key details on volunteering with groups/teams, policies, and FAQs.

• We value respect, fairness, and kindness—negative remarks or harassment will not be tolerated.

• Tracking your hours? Visit our Verifying Hours page for step-by-step instructions.

Before You Arrive & What to Expect

• Wearing sturdy, closed-toed shoes is required. Crocs and slip-on styles are not permitted. 

• We recommend wearing layered clothing—our Distribution Center can be chilly and don’t forget to bring a water bottle.

• Please arrive on time and check in at the kiosk in the lobby and wait for your shift to begin. Late arrivals may be asked to return on another day for safety and staffing reasons.

• If you're interested in a tour of our facility, they will be available at the end of the 10 AM and 2 PM shifts.

Questions? For more information, contact the Volunteer Team at volunteers@refb.org or (707) 523-7905. Our priority is to feed the community while creating a great volunteer experience. If you are unable to attend, please let us know at least 24 hours before your scheduled shift.
