Dear Friend: Thank you for considering volunteering at the St. Louis Area Foodbank! The Foodbank receives a variety of products from community food drives, local and national food manufacturers, and the United States Dept.Of Agriculture (USDA). This food then gets distributed by our 500 partner agencies with soup kitchens, pantries, shelters, etc. throughout 14 counties in MO and 12 counties in IL. Volunteer projects worked on here will usually vary as needed: 1.) Inspecting, sorting, and repackaging of donated food and non-food items. 2.) Labeling and repackaging bulk food donations/or unlabeled food donations. 3.) Building "assembly-line" style government food boxes...

Dear Friend: Thank you for considering volunteering at the St. Louis Area Foodbank!

This food then gets distributed by our 500 partner agencies with soup kitchens, pantries, shelters, etc. throughout 14 counties in MO and 12 counties in IL. Volunteer projects worked on here will usually vary as needed: 1.) Inspecting, sorting, and repackaging of donated food and non-food items. 2.) Labeling and repackaging bulk food donations/or unlabeled food donations. 3.) Building "assembly-line" style government food boxes for primarily low-income elderly people. So, if you are in need of community service hours for school (not court appointed), you are an employer wanting to give your employees a chance to spend a day giving back to the community, maybe you are seeking awards or merits for Scouts, or you are an individual or group just desiring to help out, please consider helping us here, it really is a worthy cause! It's very important that volunteers are prompt in arriving so that others are not waiting around and we can all begin the orientation and training at the same time. Please visit our website www.stlfoodbank.org to sign up today!
