Volunteer

Ending hunger in Eastern Massachusetts will take us all working together. Join our compassionate volunteers who are the heartbeat of The Greater Boston Food Bank.

**Through the outpouring of generosity from our community partners, we are grateful to say that we are booked for capacity groups, through to March 2025**  Opportunities are still available for individual volunteers. All dates prior are booked. Saturdays are booked through to May**

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 1 in 3 of our neighbors faces food insecurity. 

Face masks are options inside GBFB facilities and on the property.

  • 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.
