Volunteering

Volunteering is a great way to help your community fight hunger.

Volunteers are essential to Second Harvest’s operations. On average, they donate 2,400 hours of service each month. Their donated time is equivalent to over 13 full-time employees — a considerable costs savings for Second Harvest.

We rely on our volunteers to help us collect, sort and distribute food, and to help with general office duties and special events.  We have opportunities for individuals and groups, for more information please contact Tanya Payne at tanyap@shfbmadison.org or call 608-223-9121, extension 114.

Examples of volunteer opportunities are:

• Sorting incoming food donations
• Assisting agencies select food in our warehouse
• Assisting in the pick-up and delivery of donated food
• Helping with special events, mailings and other projects
• Helping with general maintenance of our warehouse, office and outside premises
