VOLUNTEER

People who generously give their time, effort and skills to our mission make a difference in the lives of hundreds of families every week. Together we put food in their cupboards and on their tables.

Guidelines for Volunteers

We ask that all CSFP volunteers demonstrate our core values of mutual respect and kindness. It helps if you can add a little patience and good humor, too!

Click the envelope to read our Guidelines so you are prepared to volunteer with us.

In the meantime, be assured that there will always be a staff and/or board member present during your volunteer shift to answer your questions and give you guidance.
