Volunteers are the backbone of our organization. The work of volunteers ensures that thousands of families in Marion and Polk counties can access nutritious food every week. Please note that all volunteer shifts must be scheduled in advance. We plan projects and assign staff based on the number of volunteers scheduled.

Volunteer time, talents, and resources are essential to feeding people in our community. We have a variety of volunteer opportunities including sorting food donations, repacking food, and gardening, among other ways to assist in the fight against hunger.

The Food Share thrives on the support of our community, corporate, and school groups. By working together, volunteers make an immediate impact in the fight against hunger in Marion and Polk counties.

Volunteers are the heart of Meals on Wheels. More than just delivering meals to homebound seniors, volunteers provide the seniors with companionship and a warm, friendly smile.
