Volunteer

We are an all-volunteer organization, and we are always happy to have more volunteers help in the effort. If you would like to help, here are a couple ways to get involved:

Volunteer on Food Drive Day:

  1. Help us sort thousands of food items on the Monday before Thanksgiving. It is a colossal effort of sorting with a mixture of order and chaos. It’s a great time helping alongside lots of other volunteers. We ask that all volunteers be at least 16 years-of-age, or at least 12 years of age if closely supervised by a parent or guardian.  Volunteers are encouraged to serve between 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.  Sign up to volunteer here.

Host a Food Collection at Your Organization:

Rally your friends or co-workers in the Thanksgiving spirit. Encourage everyone you know to donate food items from our donation list. Hold a contest. Dress like a turkey. Promise someone you will eat a fruit cake if they reach your donation goal. In other words, have a good time gathering food items for donations. Monetary donations are also accepted. Then, bring your donations to the Food Drive on the Monday before Thanksgiving (Monday, November 23, 2026) between 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. at Maude Cobb Convention Center, 100 Grand Blvd.
