We appreciate the gift of volunteer time and energy in our efforts to distribute food and to feed hungry people in north central Minnesota. Volunteer opportunities exist in many areas, from repacking bulk foods in the warehouse, working one of the many volunteer jobs within the Grand Rapids Food Shelf, office tasks, data entry, etc. Our goal is to provide meaningful work experience and increase our human resource and service capability through volunteer involvement.
Most volunteer opportunities are available during regular week day hours. Please call ahead to check on the current volunteer schedule. Organizations and groups may occasionally schedule an evening or Saturday of volunteering. Call at least two weeks in advance to schedule or arrange this with the food bank if the group cannot work during regular hours of operation.
We welcome court appointed volunteers. Please call and make arrangements with the operations manager prior to volunteering.
