Volunteer

The most important Food at First ingredient is YOU, the volunteer !

SIGN-UP

VOLUNTEER

There are multiple ways to volunteer your time. FAF appreciates every minute !

  1. Sign-up & volunteer at any Food at First Meal (served daily), Free Market (Mon, Thur, Sat) or special events such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Sweet Corn day (late summer) or the Pass Along Party (before Christmas). Groups please check the calendar to see what groups are currently helping host a meal.  Contact Patty Yoder patty@foodatfirst.com if you would like to schedule a volunteer group.
  2. Glean food from area grocery stores, ISU, restaurants, etc. on a recurring basis, usually weekly.  40 to 50 gleaning opportunities a week.  These are filled with volunteers who make a long term commitment on a recurring weekly basis.

For more information on gleaning, email Patty Yoder (patty@foodatfirst.com)  There will be gleaning opportunities in the near future.

If you would like to “ride along” one time to see if it’s something you’d like to do, just email patty@foodatfirst.com, or, if you’re ready to dive right in, click over to our online signup form and you’ll see what is still available!
