Volunteer in Feeding Tampa Bay

Advocate for change. Help us raise awareness about the reality of hunger in America. By creating a dialogue with legislators, the media and the public, you can make a difference in the lives of more than 35 million hungry Americans. Advocate, connect with others and donate your time or financial support.

Please Note. If you are willing and able to volunteer in the face of a pandemic – or other crisis situation like a hurricane – become a part of our emergency response volunteer team.

Feeding Tampa Bay is an essential facility and we are working hard to ensure our neighbors have the food they need during this critical time.  Volunteers are crucial in these efforts and we need you to #standwithFTB now more than ever. We are taking extra precautions to ensure our volunteers’ safety in our warehouse and at distribution sites. We kindly ask volunteers who fall within an “at-risk” category (immunocompromised, age 65, etc.) or those not feeling well to take care of themselves at home.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Help inspect perishable and/or non-perishable foods for their expiration date and quality, then package those good foods into bags/boxes that will be distributed to our hungry neighbors in the next few days.  Sign up at this link: https://volunteer.feedingtampabay.org/calendar

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE:
ALL volunteers MUST wear closed-toe shoes (i.e. sneakers) for warehouse safety. Volunteers wearing open-toe shoes will not be allowed to volunteer. Recommended attire includes shirts with sleeves (no tank-tops), and jeans or shorts of appropriate length.
There is NO minimum age to participate in this activity; however, please note this activity would be best suited for children 5+.
