Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering your time at Second Harvest. We want every volunteer experience to be rewarding!

Last year Second Harvest distributed 20.5 million pounds of food to our network of 250 food banks and meal centers and volunteers were a vital part of helping us feed our hungry neighbors.

Please note that the number of volunteer slots available for each opportunity is listed below. When all of the slots for a shift or event have been taken, it will be flagged as “full”. In addition, you will find food drives, special events and other warehouse and administrative office volunteer opportunities listed below.

If you have any questions or are looking for other ways to get involved, please call 252-6257 or email volunteer@2-harvest.org.

Never doubt your support makes a difference! Thank you for being part of the solution to hunger.

Note: Second Harvest does not participate in court-ordered service.
