Our volunteers represent an integral part of the Food Bank’s success in
helping provide food to people in need in our community.
The Food Bank involves many volunteers each week in all
aspects of our operation. We welcome and appreciate your time, talent,
and interest for the benefit of others in our community. We have individual
and group volunteer opportunities.
If you want to join the Food Bank family, please read the Volunteer
Guidelines, download and fill out our Volunteer

Warehouse Packing and Sorting
Sorting and packing donated food gives you
a "behind-the-scenes" look at how donations from the community are distributed
to our hungry neighbors in need.
Volunteer Duties: Inspect, clean, sort, box, and make donations ready
for distribution.
Volunteer Hours: Tuesday and Thursday, from 9 am to noon.
Distributions
We have four sites in Nevada County where our volunteers help distribute
food to families and individuals in need. To find a location and time
that will work for you, please see the distribution
schedule (a pdf file) for your area.
We need help from reliable drivers who will deliver food during the school
year to different school sites as well as to low income housing sites
in Nevada County. During the summer we need extra help packing lunches
and delivering them to hungry children. This is a great opportunity for
high school students.
