Volunteer AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Hunger is closer than you think. Right now, students in your local schools are struggling with food insecurity, unsure where their next meal will come from. At Food For Neighbors, we believe every student deserves access to nutritious food, and with your help, we can make that happen. As a volunteer or food donor (or both!), you can make a difference!

How You Can Help
Whether you have a few hours a month or just one morning to spare, there’s a way for you to get involved. Volunteers are the heart of our program, and there are many ways to make an impact.

BE A VOLUNTEER AT A RED BAG EVENT
We host five Saturday events throughout the school year and need volunteers to help with food pickup and delivery to schools, as well as sorting and organizing items into bins for school pantries. It’s easy to get started!
BE A RED BAG FOOD DONOR
Donate nonperishable food right from your doorstep with the Red Bag Program.
PARTNER WITH US
No matter the size of your organization, when we work together as a team, we can make a big impact—through group volunteering, food drives, fundraisers, or financial partnerships.
ADVOCATE
Be a voice for change by advocating for food security in your community—spread awareness, inspire action, and help ensure that no student goes hungry.
Volunteer WITH a Group or Team
Volunteering is even more rewarding when you do it together! Whether you’re a business, school group, community organization, or friends, joining forces with Food for Neighbors creates a powerful impact. Team volunteering strengthens bonds, gives back, and drives positive change. From sorting and distributing food to organizing donation drives, there are many ways to get involved!
Why Volunteer?
By giving just a little of your time, you can make a huge difference in the lives of local teens.
DOES YOUR COMPANY OFFER matching grants for volunteering?
Did you know your time can make an even bigger impact? Many companies offer volunteer grant programs, where they donate money to organizations like ours in recognition of your volunteer hours. That means the time you already spend helping can directly support our mission even more—at no extra cost to you!
Search for your employer to see if they offer a volunteer grant program and turn your time into funding for our cause.
