Description


Join us in the fight to End Hunger in Our Community! Your time and effort help provide nutritious food to 142,000 individuals in need. Your support makes a meaningful impact—thank you for being part of this vital work!

As a Food Connections Market volunteer, you’ll assist Food Connections Market staff with projects, such as:

Restocking Dry & Canned Goods – Organize and stock items like cans, cereal, pasta, and rice based on demand.

Sorting & Gleaning Food – Inspect and organize dry goods, produce, and bread, checking for quality and expiration dates.

Cleaning & Consolidating Pallets – Sweep, remove trash, and reorganize partially filled pallets to maximize space.

To learn more about this opportunity, watch our Food Connections Market Volunteer & Safety Guidelines video.
