Volunteers

Volunteers are Heroes in limitless ways...

Ending hunger in America depends on the volunteer work of literally millions of Americans who know that they can make a difference. Some volunteers come once, some a few times a year, and still others are here almost every day.

​

The Food Bank staff is available to work with groups after hours or on Saturdays. Please call (318) 445-2773 to schedule a time and volunteer opportunity for your group. For additional information or to schedule a time to volunteer, please email our volunteer coordinator, Carole Stafford, at cstafford@fbcenla.org.

The Food Bank also welcomes individual volunteers to join in the fight against hunger. A special skill or a willing heart is always accepted. Please call us at (318) 445-2773 or email our volunteer coordinator, Carole Stafford, at cstafford@fbcenla.org for more information on how to become a volunteer.
