Volunteer: Outreach and CalFresh Volunteering

Please sign up for this opportunity if you are interested in training to volunteer as part of our outreach team!

Our outreach volunteers represent the food bank at off-site events, community gatherings, schools, clubs, and other events and venues. They are trained to answer questions about many facets of Feeding the Foothills and our various programs, including but not limited to: volunteering, CalFresh, Pantry To Go/Mobile Distributions, and our network of partner agencies.

During training, you will learn more about the food bank to give you a solid foundation of knowledge to work from when talking to the public. We will also teach you more in-depth about the CalFresh program (California's food stamp program) and how to help someone sign up to receive benefits. 

Typically, volunteers will accompany a staff person to events that they are available for, and support staff by answering questions, distributing flyers and other info, and generally serving as the face of the food bank. 

We LOVE when bilingual folks are interested in this opportunity, but it is definitely not a requirement. We have the greatest need for folks who speak Spanish, Russian or Ukrainian, Tagalog, or Mandarin. 

Signing up for this opportunity doesn't commit you to anything. We will send you additional info and a link to register for training after you sign up for this opportunity. It just lets us know that you're interested and want a bit more info!
