Volunteer

Ending hunger in Eastern Massachusetts will take us all working together. Join our compassionate volunteers who are the heartbeat of The Greater Boston Food Bank.

**We are currently booked for groups for November 2023.**  All dates prior are booked.

Volunteers at The Greater Boston Food Bank play a critical role in helping to end hunger in Eastern Massachusetts, and their role is even more critical now given the COVID-19 crisis. We are currently accepting 15 per group weekdays and 10 per group on Saturdays, per shift.  Individuals and small groups may apply.

COVID-19 Safety Protocols

Face masks are optional inside GBFB facilities and on the property, and social distancing still needs to be observed.  GBFB will continue to monitor the situation and adjust policies and practices accordingly.
