HELPING OUT
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
If your office, youth group, social club or place of worship is looking for a volunteer activity, Food Lifeline will appreciate the gift of your time. If you are an individual that is retired, a student, or someone with a little free time, we can help keep you busy. If you are looking for a different way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or want to make a positive impact on your community, we can help!

Repackathon Event Support
Join the fun at Food Lifeline's First Annual Repackathon on Feb 11th by registering to be an Event Support Volunteer. As an Event Support Volunteer, you'll welcome Repackathon participants to Food Lifeline, offer parking direction/assistance, help with check-in and provide general event support. Join us for 1 of 3 volunteer shifts – learn more and register here.
"Save the Day" Volunteer Sessions (for groups and individuals!)
Join the Food Lifeline Volunteer Team for a “last minute” Save the Day volunteer session. Typically, our volunteer sessions fill up 3 to 4 weeks in advance, but occasionally we have last minute opportunities and this is where you can find them! Learn more.
Community Volunteer Night
Join us each Wednesday of the month from 6 to 8 p.m. to help sort, label and repackage food for distribution at our Shoreline warehouse. Volunteers must be at least 6 years old to participate and online registration is required. To learn more and register, click here.
Individual Volunteer Opportunities
Individual volunteers are needed to support our administrative offices, pick up food donations, sort and inspect food in the warehouse, and help at special events. Internships are available for high school and college students.
Group Volunteer Opportunities
Bring your family and friends, co-workers, youth group, classroom, birthday party or any other group of 8 to 60 people together to volunteer in our Shoreline warehouse to prepare food for distribution to local food banks, shelters, and meal programs.
