How to Help : Volunteer

Volunteers play a critical role in ending hunger by giving their time and talent to support The Greater Boston Food Bank.

Most volunteers work in our warehouse, inspecting, sorting, and packing food and grocery products. While a few tasks require the ability to lift a 30-pound box, most tasks require the ability to stand and inspect products for 2 - 3 hours. We can take individuals and groups of up to 50 people per shift. Groups of five or more people must be scheduled ahead of time.
