Join us for our first Partner Shopping Extravaganza! We are clearing the warehouse floor for this special partner shopping day, which will give our partners ample space to shop. We’re giving our Food Connections Market volunteers the first chance to take part, and we’d be thrilled to have your help for however much time you’re able to offer..
As a Food Connections Market volunteer you’ll assist Food Connections Market staff with restocking and consolidating totes, recording weights from the scales and assisting our partner agencies while they shop.

All volunteers must register individually before their shift. Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age to volunteer for the Partner Shopping Extravaganza.
To be fully prepared, we require all volunteers to review our Volunteer Handbook, which covers key details, policies, and FAQs.
We value respect, fairness, and kindness—negative remarks or harassment will not be tolerated. Volunteers 18+ must complete Civil Rights training before their shift.
