Volunteering

It has been said that volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they are PRICELESS. Writer and anthologist Terri Guillemets says, “The world is hugged by the faithful arms of volunteers.”  And, no one understands all this more than those of us who work at the Food Bank of the Albemarle.

Want to spend time with your family and friends while making a difference in your community?

Call us today and offer a few hours of your time to work with the staff and other volunteers at the Food Bank of the Albemarle.

Individuals and groups are needed year-round for a variety of positions (see "Volunteer Opportunties" in left menu).  Whether it's for a couple hours or an entire day, we can use your help!

A quick and simple orientation is all it takes (see "Volunteer Training Schedule" and more in left menu), and you will be on your way to the same rewarding experience enjoyed by Food Bank volunteers for almost 30 years.

(NOTE: Please be sure to see the Volunteer Guidelines and Safety Rules in the left menu.  You will hear more about this in your orientation, but it is important to understand and accept these rules for YOUR safety before becoming an FBA volunteer.)
