Weekday Volunteer Opportunities

Immediate volunteer needs are highlighted below in red.  Email volunteer4afac@afac.org to volunteer.

Grocery store pick-ups (no current openings). This is a vital part of our work. Volunteers go in their own vehicles on a scheduled basis to grocery stores in our area to pick up food donations. 60% of the food AFAC distributes is donated.
   Must be able to lift 50 pounds. 
   Minimum 3-month commitment requested.

Help in the warehouse (no current openings). Make a once a weekday morning commitment to help weigh in, sort, and prepackage food deliveries. Help keep refrigerators and freezer orderly and clean. Must be able to lift 25-30 pounds and stand on concrete floor.  Minimum 3-month commitment requested.

Morning distribution volunteers (no current openings). come once-a-week to distribute food to clients every weekday morning from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Clients receive produce, eggs, milk, cold meat and other foods as available and a brown bag of canned and dry items.  Volunteers set up for distribution, work at the sign in desk, and act as shopper's helpers among other things.  Minimum commitment of three months.

These are some of the many ways you can further our mission here at AFAC. We hope you can join us!
