Interested in Volunteering?
Your first step is to contact us!
We could not operate without the many dedicated volunteers who give their time and talents.
We need regular volunteers to help shop with clients, stock the shelves, and pick up food deliveries. We also need groups and individuals to help periodically at events, unloading large food orders and helping with bigger jobs around the pantry.
Join us and make an impact in your community!

What Our Volunteers Say
“The need for food assistance is greater than ever. The feeling of gratification in being able to furnish food is also greater than ever. Volunteering definitely fills a need to give back.”
“Volunteering at A Place To Turn allows me to help my community in the most basic of ways. I have seen the relief on the faces of clients who leave our pantry with bags of groceries to feed their families.”
“We take pride in serving each client with dignity and respect.“
