Volunteers at the City Food Bank first greet food donors and help unload donations from vehicles. They then record the donated items and sort the food items before packing them into boxes to distribute to over 36,000 hungry people in the county each year, including low-income families, unemployed individuals, and those who have lost their homes to fires. Volunteers must complete a half-hour training class to participate.

To participate, you will need to completea half-hour
training class that will count toward your service hours.
