Food & Friends' services are made possible with the help of more than 11,000 volunteers annually who have fun while giving just a few hours on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis. Individuals, schools, social groups and corporate and faith-based teams contribute in many ways. We would not exist without our incredible volunteers. Can you lend a hand?
Step One: Orientation
The first step to becoming an individual volunteer is to attend one of our New Volunteer Orientations. You’ll learn all about Food & Friends and the available volunteer opportunities – and it only takes about an hour! We hold orientations at our facility on the first Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. AND the third Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m..

Tax Deduction
Did you know that the miles you drive for Food & Friends may be tax-deductible? Typically, the miles you drive to and from Food & Friends, as well as the miles you drive while on deliveries, are tax deductible. For details consult your tax adviser or refer to the Internal Revenue Service website and do a search for Publication 526. This publication lists the various ways in which you can take deductions for volunteer-related services.
