Individual Volunteers:
Howard County Food Bank welcomes volunteers ages 16 and up to help sort and stock donated food, as well as assist shoppers in our Marketplace. Most volunteer shifts are Monday-Friday, between the hours of 10am-4pm. There are Wednesday evening and Saturday morning opportunities for individual volunteers over the age of 18.
Group Volunteers:
Group opportunities are available Monday-Friday in two-hour shifts between 10am-3pm. The Food Bank can accommodate groups of 8-10 individuals at a time. Groups assist us by stocking shelves in the Marketplace or sorting through donated goods. If there is availability that matches your group application request, our Volunteer Coordinator will follow up to schedule a group opportunity.
Through your support, you are helping us strengthen our community! Volunteers ages 16 and up will help with planting, weeding, watering, harvesting, and maintaining the garden. Volunteer opportunities are available for both individuals and groups Monday – Friday and some Saturdays.
Head Start volunteer opportunities are currently very limited and only open to individual volunteers over the age of 18. Volunteers may help students with classroom activities, assist staff during drop off and pick up, and support students during health screenings. Individual volunteers will be subject to background checks to be considered for placement in a Head Start center.
Volunteers help staff with a variety of administrative and support tasks like filing, computer data entry, and large mailings. Volunteer opportunities are on an as-needed basis, but typically occur between 9am-3pm, Monday-Friday.
