Distribution Site Safety:

Please arrive at your volunteer shift on time and report to the Site Coordinator. Staff will go over safety and assign duties at the beginning of the shift. 

This is a walk-thru distribution, so be prepared to hand out food items to walking participants and help them to their cars. We ask that you are able to help with all aspects of the food distribution, from set-up to clean-up.

Dress brightly or wear a safety vest, wear closed-toed shoes, bring water, and dress in layers.

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!
