Volunteer Opportunities
Food Bank
Food bank volunteers play a critical role in our day-to-day operation. You’ll help with a wide range of tasks including, filling food orders for our neighbors in need, packaging bulk food items into individual packaging for distribution, sorting and organizing donated food items and much more!
Food Drives
Volunteering at our food drives is a great way to volunteer near where you live! We host regular food drives at grocery stores across Sonoma County. Help to collect donations and be an advocate for Food For Thought in the community. Groups can adopt existing Saturday food drives or have one created to meet your timing and location needs. View Food Drive Calendar here.
Deliver Food
Help deliver healthy food directly to our home-bound clients! You’ll pick up pre-packed grocery bags of food at our facility in Forestville and drive to about 6-10 clients’ homes per delivery route in the same geographic area. We have delivery routes across Sonoma County, so we may have a route near where you live.
Garden
Love to play in the dirt? Volunteer gardeners help us to grow healthy, nourishing veggies and uplifting flowers for our clients. You’d be involved in planting, weeding, harvesting and other general upkeep to ensure our garden is thriving.
Administrative Support
We are often looking for volunteers with administrative skills to support our work! Volunteer tasks may include phone calls to clients or donors, handwriting cards, stamping and stuffing envelopes, data entry, creative artwork projects, and more! If you are interested in administrative support volunteer tasks, please reach out to Liv Chaaban directly at(707) 887-1647 ext.109 or LivC@fftfoodbank.org.

We are always on the lookout for enthusiastic volunteers to help out at our special events!
