Volunteer with Valley Outreach |
Be a part of minimizing waste while giving back to the community by joining our volunteer team as a Food Rescue volunteer! As a Food Rescue volunteer, individuals sort through boxes of retail food donations from stores like Cub, Target, and Kowalski’s, selecting the best quality items for Valley Outreach clients. There are several volunteer openings available each day of the week for this position.
If you are a new volunteer to Valley Outreach, please fill out our brief online application. If you are a current volunteer, please sign-up for a shift using the Volunteer Sign-In link on the top of our website.
