We need you now more than ever! Learn more about how you can support our vision of a hunger-free Iowa. VOLUNTEER IN PERSON We welcome individual and group volunteers. If you’d like to volunteer as a group, please fill out our group volunteer form. You can count your hours toward school or work service, like Silver Cord, but not court-ordered community service. SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER FOOD SORTING You’ll label, count and box donated food so we can distribute it. Here are some examples of what you’ll do: * Pack BackPack sacks * Sort food drive donations * Check dates and food safety of food drive items * Bag bulk produce * Repackage bulk rice or pasta into family-sized bags * Box up like items into equally weighted boxes * Sort bread * Pack family boxes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SKILLS-BASED VOLUNTEERING You’ll put your talents and experience to work for us. Opportunities are diverse and can be tailored to match your skills. Some common needs include: * Data entry * Drivers for large vans * Administrative assistance * Special events support Please complete a skills-based volunteer form so we can match you with the right opportunity. VOLUNTEER FROM HOME You can help from home or virtually anywhere by sewing T-shirt tote bags or creating inspiration cards for our BackPack Program™. Then, deliver these items to our distribution centers in Des Moines (2220 E. 17th St.) or Ottumwa (705 W. Main St.). We’re open 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Mondays–Thursdays and 7:30 a.m.–2 p.m. Fridays. DIY T-SHIRT TOTE BAGS As the need for food increases, we need bags to support mobile pantries and drive-through school distributions. It’s easy to sew the T-shirt tote bags we prepack with food for these programs. All you need is a sewing machine, heavyweight cotton T-shirts and a few other common items. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKPACK PROGRAM INSPIRATION CARDS We distribute more than 4,500 BackPack sacks for elementary students each week. These bags include nutritious, kid-friendly food for the weekend, plus an inspirational message. We need help creating these inspiration cards for kids and their families.
