We are looking for about 10 - 20 volunteers per shift. Volunteer opportunities include helping pack boxes for food distribution. Please see below for time frames available, and other requirements including volunteer registration. Once registration is complete, we will send you an email asking what shift you can work. When you confirm your shift, we will send another email with parking and check in instructions.

Teenagers 14+ are welcome to volunteer if an adult guardian goes with them.

We are asking for volunteers to come from either 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM or to pick shifts on either date. There are multiple shifts 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM. 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM,
