Calendar of Events

We are seeking volunteers to help sort, inspect, and package various food items that will be distributed to communities throughout our 16-county service area.

Important Information about Volunteering:

• Volunteers must be 12 years or older to volunteer, and volunteers between the ages of 12-15 must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of their shift. To ensure safety, this policy is not flexible. 
• Volunteer projects are completed while standing and moving throughout the shift, though a break area is available for your use, as needed. Repetitive movements are common throughout the shift. 
• No walk-in volunteers. Thank you for helping us have well-planned shifts.
• We ask that you arrive 15 minutes before your shift begins to complete the sign-in process. 
• Please call our Volunteer Services Coordinator at 608.216.7214 before signing up if you need accommodations to participate. We may occasionally have a project that allows for modified or seated work.

Dress Code: 

• Closed-toed shoes and shirts with sleeves (no tank-tops!) are required to volunteer.
• All jewelry must be removed prior to the start of your shift, except for rings. 
• For your safety, do not use earbuds or MP3s, Bluetooth devices, etc., while volunteering. You need to be able to hear what’s happening around you.

Volunteer Agreements:

By signing up to volunteer, you agree to all Second Harvest Foodbank policies, including the volunteer community agreement, anti-discrimination policy, cancellation policy, photo release policy, and all food safety guidelines.
