Volunteer
Volunteering is a great way to help fight hunger in Central Louisiana
We encourage you to join us on your own or enlist a group of friends, family, or coworkers to join us for a volunteer shift. From packing and sorting food, to helping with mobile pantry distributions, we have a variety of opportunities available to our volunteers throughout the week.
Volunteers are Heroes!
Volunteers are an important part of our operations, and we look forward to working with you! Volunteering is also a great way to make a positive impact in the lives of others while boosting your own sense of fulfillment and connection to community.
