Become a Volunteer

It’s easy to become a Food Bank volunteer!

Volunteers do great things at the Food Bank! More than 25,000 hours were donated last year. Over 90 volunteer hours are needed each day to help alleviate hunger in our area. Food Bank volunteers sort donations, pack food boxes, and help coordinate and distribute the food relief that we give to our fellow Alaskans to help them through their tough times.

Email us about scheduling your volunteering shift or contact us directly at (907)45-SHARE or (907)457-4273

People of all ages and all levels of ability are welcome. There is plenty of work for everyone and if you cannot lift and carry boxes or stand for long periods of time, there are other tasks that we can use your help with.

Good things happen when everyone contributes a little each year. Some ways that you can help end hunger in the Tanana Valley include: Volunteer Your Time
