Volunteer
You can do it all!
Food For Thought is the perfect place to be an enthusiastic, active, volunteer. We have a small paid staff and rely on volunteers to help fulfill our mission.
Here, volunteers roll up their sleeves to carry out the work of feeding people living with, or affected by, HIV/AIDS.
Last year 527 people contributed over 18,000 hours of service.
Volunteers performed the vital work of taking orders, bagging groceries, stocking shelves, soliciting donations, working at food drives, staffing fundraising events, delivering to homebound clients, working in our amazing organic garden, picking up donations, lending a hand at our antique store, and helping out in our offices. Volunteers make and steer policy on the Board of Directors.

Our volunteers range in age from 7th graders to very senior citizens. Some help with just a special event or two each year while others donate four to eight hours every week. Some like to volunteer as a group. You can read about one group’s experience here.
These are some of the people we’ve honored for their outstanding service to our organization.
No matter how much (or how little) time you have to offer, we will do our best to find a place for you to be of heart-felt service.

Here are descriptions of some of our volunteer positions.
All potential volunteers are invited to attend a one hour, no obligation, New Volunteer Orientation meeting on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7pm.
