Yolo Food Bank is looking for caring, responsible, and respectful individuals or groups to help provide folks in our community with ongoing access to healthy foods.

We also need volunteers to work on-site at Yolo Food Bank repackaging dry product, organizing boxes of food for residents in need, and assisting warehouse procedures.

I volunteered to have the chance to give something back to the community. You will sort & pack the food to put on the cars for the people who come to the food distribution. Nice people to volunteer with :)

I have offered to help as a Russian translator and I have a very positive overall impression of this organisation. Jeanée Natov, the coordinator, responded quickly and was very friendly and supportive.

I had a great time. It was amazing how many people I was able to help in just a few hours.
