Volunteer support is critical to our mission of food for better lives!  The Houston Food Bank utilizes volunteers seven days a week at our main warehouse. Whether you come out as an individual or part of a group, we are certain you will have an enjoyable, positive experience.  

SPECIAL NOTES:    

  • Volunteers under the age of 14 must complete a Minor Waiver Form signed by a parent or guardian and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the shift.
  • All volunteers under the age of 18 also need a completed Minor Waiver Form signed by a parent or guardian.
  • A copy of the Minor Waiver form can be downloaded by clicking the RESOURCES tab on your Volunteer Profile page.  


DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES
Varies with the makeup volunteers for shift. Most of the projects at the warehouse involve inspecting, sorting, and repackaging of donated food items for community distribution.
