Volunteer
Share your time to end hunger
When you volunteer with Oregon Food Bank, you’re supporting access to nutritious food today, and you’re building community power to eliminate hunger for good.
Be part of a committed group of people working to end hunger.
There are opportunities to volunteer almost every day and in ways that fit with how you want to help — whether that’s packing food at one of our central locations, distributing nutritious meals in your community, making phone calls from the comfort of your home or lobbying at the state Capitol.

Ways to volunteer
At Oregon Food Bank locations
Help pack food, provide office and event support, or advocate for policy change through opportunities at our Portland and Beaverton locations. You can meet community service requirements by volunteering with Oregon Food Bank. All volunteers must register ahead of time.
In the community
Our partner organizations provide food and support to people in your community. Whether you help unload food at a local agency or speak with neighbors about anti-hunger policy efforts, you have the opportunity to build relationships in your community while working to address hunger.
With your small group
We are currently working on developing a new group volunteer registration process and will update this page as it’s completed.
In the meantime, if individuals within your group are interested in working in a repack shift in our warehouse or out in the community, each person (adults and youth) would need to sign up as an individual. Space is limited. Click HERE to search for onsite and offsite volunteer opportunities for individuals.

Isabel, Portland, OregonIt’s important to have school pantries because that’s where our children are and we can distribute information about food banks. From there the information gets passed down to our neighbors, to our elderly, who also need a lot of help.
