You're the Heart of Project SHARE
Every family who leaves our doors with food in their arms — that's because of someone like you. Volunteers don't just help run Project SHARE. They are Project SHARE.
🎉 NOW RECRUITING: Long-Term Volunteers! We're looking for people who can commit to at least one shift per week for 4–6 months. Could that be you?
Why You'll Love Volunteering Here
Sure, you'll be helping your community. But here's a little secret — you're going to get just as much back.
Help Real People
Every shift you show up for puts food on someone's table. That's not a small thing — it's everything.
Find Your People
Our volunteers are curious, kind, and fun. Friendships formed here have a way of lasting well beyond the warehouse.
Get Moving
Sorting, lifting, stocking — it's a workout that actually matters. You'll leave feeling energized and good about it.
Build Real Skills
Food safety, logistics, client services, communications — the skills you gain here look great on a résumé and feel even better in practice.
Feel Amazing
Science backs it up: helping others makes you happier. Our volunteers don't just believe that — they feel it every single shift.
"Volunteers are the heart of Project SHARE."
