Below are guidelines we are following to combat the spread of the Coronavirus in our facility.
If you are unable to find a volunteer shift, please check back. Volunteer shifts are changing daily. You can also help these 3 ways: start a virtual food drive, make an online donation, and help spread the word on social media by following @feedhopenow.
Second Harvest Food Bank relied on 28,289 volunteers last year whose hours totaled 95,133. It's pretty incredible to see so many caring individuals pass through our warehouse throughout the year. Our various volunteer opportunities offer fun and unique ways for individuals and groups to contribute their time, talents and resources to help our neighbors facing hunger.
Please review the following info below before signing up for a volunteer shift at our main facility.
Please note that our online calendar will only show volunteer opportunities in Orange County. If you are interested in volunteering at our Volusia or Brevard branches, please see the information below:
