Approximately 100 regular volunteers donate their time during one single work week. On Saturday Volunteer Days, which are held once a month, groups from businesses, schools, churches, and organizations can schedule times to volunteer together. Often the Food Bank receives shipments of canned products that are not labeled.
Volunteers label the items so that they can be distributed to the agencies.
Many products donated to the Food Bank come in bulk packaging. The volunteers repackage the food into family sized containers for distribution to agencies. These items are carefully checked, and the items that are in good, usable condition are sorted into categories such as cereal, boxed items, canned goods, beverages, paper products, and more. Then they are repacked, and labeled accordingly for distribution. The Food Bank receives donations from local businesses and grocery stores on a daily basis.
