Volunteer

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 or fewer volunteers per shift.  Individuals and small groups may apply.

COVID-19 Safety Protocols

Face masks are required 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.

• We’ve rearranged our project set up to allow for 6 ft. physical distancing.
