Last year, over 12,000 people made a difference in the lives of others volunteering their time and talent with the Capital Area Food Bank. Our volunteers save the food bank over $725,000 every year in staffing costs, which we are then able to channel back into feeding the community.
There is a place for everyone at the food bank, including: individuals, families, corporate groups, religious groups, school groups (children must be 12 or older), civic groups, and others.
VOLUNTEER:
Our volunteers work on projects such as the Food For Kid's Weekend Bag Program. This program distributes food bags, ensuring that children who rely on free lunch and reduced school breakfasts and lunches eat over the weekend. Also, volunteers sort donated non-perishable food items that we will send to our 750 member agencies for distribution to those in need. Or volunteers could work on the Senior's Brown Bag Program. For this program, volunteers put together bags of food for senior citizens on fixed incomes.
