VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

 

Food Bank of South Jersey volunteers help by...

 

Sorting

Donated non-perishable food that comes from supermarkets, food drives and food donors must be checked for expiration and quality before they can be put on our Marketplace shelves.

 

Stocking

We organize and replenish shelves in our Marketplace area where member agencies shop for food.

 

Packing

Food Bank of South Jersey has several ongoing packing projects such as Twilight Harvest, Kidzpack, Mother's Day/Father's Day gift bags, and creating toiletry kits that are distributed to our member food pantries throughout the year.

 

Office Work

We need periodic help in our front office with bulk mailings, making calls, data entry, photocopying, scanning, and filing.

 

Warehouse Assistance

Cleaning inside and outside the Food Bank is always needed, along with trash removal and sweeping.

 

Transportation Assistance

Help our truck and van drivers with food pickups and deliveries. For this job, volunteers must be prepared to lift heavy objects.

 

Special Events

Food Bank of South Jersey fund-raising special events are held throughout the year. Volunteers are needed to assist staff at these events.

 

Speaker's Bureau

Food Bank of South Jersey gets many requests to talk about our mission before various groups. If you are comfortable with public speaking, we will train you to help spread the word about hunger and what we are trying to do to fight it.
