Farmington Food Shelf Volunteer

Save to Favorites

All volunteers at the Farmington Food Shelf are very important to the caring and confidential work that we do with our Farmington neighbors. Our volunteers are appreciated and a part of our respected and responsible team. All volunteers are required to fill out a background check form, read and review our core values, mission statement and to attend an orientation/training meeting. A signed volunteer agreement is also required.

Rescue Food Pick-Up: We are in need of a volunteer to pickup rescue food from three locations (ALDI Lakeville and two Kwik Trip’s in Farmington) and deliver it to the Farmington Food Shelf. After delivering the food, the volunteer must help unload, weigh, and put away the rescued food. The volunteer must use their own vehicle and gas, in addition to carrying insurance on their vehicle. Training will be provided, and the volunteer must be able to lift up to 40 pounds.

Volunteer Shifts Available:

• Thursday, 11:00 am - approx. 12:30 pm

Rescue Food, Saturday mornings

Rescue Food is food donated to us by a retail company because due to USDA guidelines and dates printed on a product, they are not allowed to sell the product nor have it on their shelves any longer, but it is still usable and safe to consume. We need help stocking and sorting the rescue food each Saturday morning at our Farmington Food Shelf. You do not need to fill out our Volunteer Interest Form for this opportunity.
