Sort Food Donations: Group Volunteers

Groups of up to 15 people from any organization, business, social club, or family and friends are welcome to take advantage of team building while helping those in need in Anne Arundel County. We need group volunteers to sort canned food and produce/perishable foods for distribution to pantries and on-site feeding agencies. (Occasionally groups are also needed to assist with Mobile Food Pantry distributions.) Morning and afternoon volunteer shifts are available Monday through Friday in two shifts: 10 am to noon and 1 pm to 3 pm. Use the group volunteer interest form (button below) to let us know about your group and your desired day of volunteering (please let us know at least three weeks in advance).

Sort Food Donations: Individual Volunteers

Individuals are welcome to come in and join other volunteers on our sorting line to sort canned food and produce/perishable foods for distribution to pantries and on-site feeding agencies. Morning and afternoon volunteer shifts (10 am to noon and 1 pm to 3 pm) are available Monday through Friday.
