The most important ingredient is YOU, the volunteer!
There are many ways to volunteer at Food At First. Each and every volunteer is important in helping us serve this community!
- Meal volunteers are needed daily. Sign-up to help prep or serve/cleanup.
- Free Market volunteers are needed on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.
- Special events are a fun way to serve the community and require a large number of volunteers.
- Thanksgiving
- Christmas
- Sweet Corn Day (late summer)
- Pass Along Party (just before Christmas)
- Groups please check the calendar to see what dates volunteers are needed. Please figure out 2-3 dates that work for your group and email patty@foodatfirst.com with the dates you are available, number of volunteers, and organization you are affiliated with (if applicable). Please include Volunteer Group on the subject line.
- Glean food from area grocery stores, ISU, restaurants, etc. on a recurring weekly basis. This opportunity is for volunteers interested in a long term commitment. For more information on gleaning, email Patty Yoder (patty@foodatfirst.com).
