Support your Downtown Neighbors
Last year, volunteers served nearly 20,000 hours at the Food Bank and helped distribute more than 850,000 pounds of food. Come in on your own or with friends or co-workers; we’d love to have your help working to end hunger in downtown Seattle.
Volunteer opportunities include preparing the distribution line and assisting shoppers with food, organizing our warehouse, collecting donated food from Market vendors and farmers markets, and delivering groceries to our homebound shoppers. So please wear comfortable clothes and close-toed shoes when you come in!
Signing Up
We accept volunteers weekdays 9am-3pm and until 6pm on Wednesdays.
On Your Own
Individual volunteers can come in and get started with an orientation Mondays at 10am and Wednesdays at 10am or 3pm.
