Volunteer
Through the outpouring of generosity from our community partners, we are grateful to say that:
- Weekday volunteer shifts are booked through July. We have limited availability September through November.
- Saturday volunteer shifts are booked through the end of the year. We are now accepting inquiries and scheduling groups for 2027.
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 that 40% of Massachusetts households face food insecurity.
- Our Kids Who Care and Families for Impact volunteering opportunities are temporarily suspended.
- Handwashing is encouraged before and after the volunteer shift. Hand sanitizer is available onsite.
- We will provide volunteers with disposable gloves to wear during their shift.
- Volunteer tasks will focus on high need/critical projects like our CSFP and Brown Bag boxes for seniors and additional food sorting projects.
- At this time, our facility’s common space is not available for lunches or meetings.
