Help ensure food security for your neighbors by volunteering with North Helpline Emergency Services and Food Bank! Everyday we get wonderful donations from local stores, pea patches, and individual donors. Help us ensure we are only distributing food that we would pick up ourselves! Volunteers are needed to inspect the quality of food coming in from donations and partner organizations. You can expect to work with 4 to 5 other volunteers as we sift through items. We keep volunteer crews small to help with social distancing but that means we count on everyone to show up for their shift and be on time. We have food bank receiving and sorting opportunities throughout the week including: Tuesday to Thursday 9:00 am to 1:00 pm Friday and Saturday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm Interested in working with us? Please email volunteers@northhelpline.org or call us at (206) 413-8271 for more information. We hope to hear from you soon!

Our mission is to help our entire community obtain basic necessities. Food Distribution Check in volunteers will assist us in checking in our folks when they visit us during our Food Bank Distribution days. Volunteers in this role will be responsible in getting folks started with the entire process of Food distribution by: scanning their food bank cards and recording visit info in our client database offering them non-food supplies for their households (hygiene, pet food, etc) directing folks to our food distribution areas You can expect to serve with 1 other volunteer during your scheduled shift. As you will interact with a diverse community, an open mind and willingness to serve those in need is crucial and comfort in using technology and data management applications is helpful.

Help ensure food security for your neighbors by volunteering with North Helpline Emergency Services and Food Bank in Lake City! Some neighbors do not have the ability or connections necessary to shop for themselves at our weekly food distributions. To counter these barriers, North Helpline provides home delivery to homebound individuals every other week on Tuesday and Thursday. We pack on Tuesday from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm and Thursday from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm with dietary needs and restrictions in mind. Because of this and the particular needs of some neighbors, attention to detail is a key attribute needed to help pack these boxes. Dietary knowledge for needs such as diabetes, gluten intolerance, and food allergies, as well as the ability to lift up to 35 pounds is also a plus. Interested in working with us? Please email volunteers@northhelpline.org or call us at (206)-413-8271for more information. We hope to hear from you soon!
