Ways to Volunteer
We offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities that fit different interests, time commitments, and group sizes. Whether you’re an individual, part of a group, or volunteering as a corporate team, we have a role for you! For questions, email our Volunteer Coordinator, Mandi Karulf.
- One-time Volunteer Roles: These flexible, one-time volunteer shifts include sorting and packing food, supporting food distributions, or helping at special events. They’re great for individuals or groups and typically require little to no training, just advance registration. INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING? GET STARTED.
- Ongoing Involvement: For those looking to volunteer on a regular basis, we offer roles that support deliveries, sorting and packing food, working in the PROP Fod Mart, office operations, and more. Some roles require training or specific skills, like driving or administrative support. CONNECT ABOUT VOLUNTEERING.
- Group Volunteer Events: Bring your team together for a meaningful day of service. Group volunteering is a powerful way to connect, give back, and create lasting change in our community. SIGN UP YOUR GROUP TODAY.
Who Can Volunteer?
Everyone is welcome—kids, adults, grandparents, schools, corporate groups and more—to join us in supporting our mission. Children do need to be supervised.
We are currently unable to accommodate court appointed service.
