SHARE YOUR WHY

As a volunteer, we would love to know more about why volunteering at the Food Bank is important to you and your group.

Whether you’re a group or individual there are many opportunities to volunteer.

As a non-profit organization, the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank relies on volunteers to fulfill our vision that no one should be hungry.  Each year thousands of volunteers (working individually and as part of group efforts) donate tens of thousands of hours of their time to help their neighbors in need.

Thank you for your time, energy, and passion. Your hard work and dedication are greatly appreciated. YOU help make a difference and touch so many lives in your very own community when volunteering at the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank.

To express your interest in volunteering, please fill out the Individual Volunteer Inquiry or Group Volunteer Inquiry form. A member of our team will be in touch with you to discuss available volunteer opportunities.

At this time, all available volunteering is taking place at our larger, off-site Volunteer Center in Harrisburg. All volunteers must be 14 years of age or older.
