Give your time, talents or resources.

There are many ways to volunteer at the Orangeville Food Bank.

Volunteering allows you to make a positive impact in your community, giving of your time, talents or resources

We currently have over 120 volunteers. Last year they donated almost 23,000 hours of time to the success of the operation.  Each volunteer is interviewed, has a current police check and is trained in operations and poverty awareness.

There are many roles filled by the volunteers at the food bank. Some volunteer for a weekly shift, sorting food or helping our clients with their shopping. Others do weekly pick-ups at local grocery stores or other businesses both around and out of town. We have a group of volunteers who are involved in the administration of the food bank including creating schedules, banking, answering emails and phone messages and doing regular inventories of the warehouse. Our Board of Directors is also made up of volunteers. We give tours to school children, local organizations and groups from as far away as Toronto. We are always happy to share the wonderful story of the Orangeville Food Bank.

Our volunteers are also involved in many fundraising events throughout the year. Our largest fundraiser, Coldest Night of the Year, is held in February and has raised more than $230,000.00 over the past three years. Our annual food drive in August helps us collect food that is needed to cover the increased need as students head back to school.
