Foundation Communities is a local nonprofit dedicated to providing quality affordable housing and support services to families and individuals. We operate Healthy Food Pantries at 14 sites across Austin.

We are seeking volunteers to assist with Foundation Communities’ Healthy Food Pantry program. The Healthy Food Pantry volunteer will assist with set-up, distributing food to clients, and clean-up. We aimto provide access to fresh, healthy food to our residents at all Foundation Communities properties, educate residents on healthy food choices, recipes and nutrition, and increase consumption of heathy foods.

Healthy Food Pantry volunteers commit to serving one 2-3 hour shift every other week at the community of your choosing. Hours vary by community, but take place on weekdays, mostly during daytime hours.

Volunteers must complete an online application, pass a background check (no cost to the volunteer), and complete a self-paced online orientation. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old.

Our orientation is open now to new volunteers. Let us know you're interested for information on how to get started!
