Recently, AWARE Food Bank in Woodburn suffered a devastating fire that will close the building for the foreseeable future. Thankfully the building was empty at the time and nobody was hurt, but the damage is extensive and a considerable amount of food was lost. AWARE is one of the largest pantries in the Food Share partner network and is the primary source of food relief in the Woodburn area. Last year alone, AWARE distributed 1.3 million pounds of food, reaching over 1,500 families every month. We are committed to continuing to serve the community with minimal disruptions, but we need your help! Please check out the details below and information on how to get started: How do I get started? Contact Marion Polk Food Share’s Volunteer Team at volcoord@marionpolkfoodshare.org or 503-581-3855 When? Daytime shifts run from 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Evening shifts run from 4:30 - 7:00 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday, and are held at various locations in the Woodburn community. Where? AWARE Food Bank, 152 Arthur St., Woodburn, OR.

The Food Share has begun a pilot, home delivered food box program and we need your help! We want to expand this program so that more of our neighbors can be served. We have the food, we know who needs it, now all we need are the dedicated volunteers to deliver the food to our neighbors. Here are some important details about this opportunity: Volunteers will typically deliver once per week to 3-5 households in Salem and Keizer. Alternative schedules (e.g. deliveries every other week) are also possible. At this time, Tuesday is the primary deliver day. Morning and afternoon opportunities are available. Total time volunteering each shift will last between 1 and 2 hours. Volunteers will use their own vehicles, must be fully insured, and have a current driver's license. Volunteers must pass a background check before being cleared to drive. Our team is excited to tell you more and to connect you with this new opportunity to serve our neighbors!
