About
The Food Bank of Northeast Georgia hosts an annual competitive food drive that lasts the course of 1 week. By the end, these organizations bring their donations to the Food Bank to be accepted, weighed, and sorted.
Volunteers will help with receiving donations, providing a positive atmosphere for donors, sorting donations, and ensuring that the work environment is maintained as a clean space.
As a reminder, we do not offer community service hours for volunteer work.
First-time volunteers should always review our Volunteer Page to review any updates and Covid-19 regulations, as well as to read through our Volunteer Handbook, which covers instructions for events, dress code, programs, and submit our New Volunteer Survey. This event is not open to minors (ages 16 and younger) at this time.
