We are currently looking for groups and individuals to "adopt a Saturday" each month with Community Food Outreach. Saturday volunteers would pick one Saturday shift/month to work in our thrift store, food outreach or community crisis pantry.
Shifts are 9am- 12pm, 12pm- 3pm, 3pm- 6pm.
Saturdays at Community Food Outreach are great days with tons of client interaction. It's a great way to get your church or community group involved in reaching out to our community.
Sign up today!
For group opportunities, please contact the volunteer services department directly. For individual opportunities, please fill out our volunteer application that can be found at www.communityfoodoutreach.org, and then sign up for one of our bi-weekly orientations. We look forward to seeing you here at CFOC!

About United Against Poverty
Location:
150 West Michigan St., Orlando, FL 32806, US
Mission Statement
To help those in need to transform their lives by providing food, crisis care, opportunities for education and employment, and a hand up to families , individuals and children who are fighting to break the cycle of poverty
Description
United Against Poverty is the only national organization to provide families with both emergency food supplies and the opportunity to obtain highly subsidized groceries, including hygiene products, six days a week. We provide a comprehensive approach to fight and reduce long-term, poverty related hunger. Additionally, our Passport Out of Poverty model is a holistic, multi-pronged approach that breaks the cycle of poverty through:
- Offering immediate hunger relief
- Stabilizing crisis situations
- Multiplying client purchasing power for food & hygiene items
- Restoring dignity, self-respect, and a sense of personal responsibility
- Establishing self sufficiency
Our organization is not affiliated with any religion or faith-based organization. However, those who work here do feel called to this type of mission-based vocation and our founders have embraced a long-term commitment to help families break the cycle of poverty. The United Against Poverty model is unique in that it requires clients to make a contribution of some sort such as attending classes, participating in programs, contributing a percentage of the cost of food or volunteering. We provide ongoing support and establish ongoing relationships with clients. It is the guiding principle of our leadership that people living in poverty do not need empty handouts, but a program that offers a comprehensive hand-up towards a new future.
