Volunteer
Whether you are a self-motivated individual volunteer, represent a community or employee group, or are looking for school or work-related community service opportunities, there’s something for you to do to help at the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. You’ll have fun and help those less fortunate in our region. All are welcome over the age of ten years of age. Children between the ages of 10 and 16 who volunteer must be accompanied by an adult.
Here are our upcoming warehouse volunteer schedules for you to review: June. Please remember that individuals are always welcome during these times, but that groups need to sign up in advance. Please contact Mary Burdick at 775-331-3663.
