**Through the outpouring of generosity from our community partners, we are grateful to say that group volunteer opportunities are fully booked through July 2025. For individual volunteer opportunities, Saturday shifts are booked through August 2025.**
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.
