If you are interested in completing community service for court at Feed More, there is a separate program you can apply for online by filling out the volunteer application form, listing the charges, and providing lawyer/caseworker information. This is for pre-trial community service as well.. We are not able to accommodate court-ordered community service in this specific program provided that your charges are NOT related to an act of violence, sexual misconduct, larceny, or major misdemeanors.

As of November 1, 2021, Feed More will expect all employees and volunteers to establish that they have been fully vaccinated or provide a negative COVID-19 test each week prior to their volunteer shift. The process will be explained in more detail once your volunteer application is approved. For purposes of this policy, volunteers are considered vaccinated two weeks after receiving the second dose of a two-dose vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna), or one dose of a single-dose vaccination (Janssen/J&J). A negative test must be done through your doctor’s office or testing facility to confirm the date that the test was preformed (new tests needed weekly).
