Volunteer Opportunities

Most non-profits today rely on volunteer help to carry out their mission. We cannot do it alone. We always have opportunities in our three emergency food pantries, service on the Catholic Charities Advisory Board, the Second Harvest Foodbank, the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, special events such as Empty Bowls, Annual Golf Outing, Post Office Food Drive, the Christmas school and business food drives, and other events.

The agency can accommodate individual volunteers and groups of up to 40 people. Many businesses, schools, clubs, fraternal organizations and church groups find volunteering at the foodbank a rewarding team building experience. Volunteer sessions can be planned for weekdays, some evenings and one Saturday a month. Please schedule group sessions in advance by contacting Barb Eggers via email barbe_spfldcss@hotmail.com or at (937)325-8715.
