Volunteer Opportunities

The Volunteer Center of Maricopa County has recognized St Mary's Food Bank as one of their "Top 5 Volunteer Opportunities" of the week. This recognition is part of a community service promotion being done in conjunction with KPHO Channel 5 and Fulton Homes encouraging folks in our area to volunteer 5 hours a month to support non-profits in our community.

Volunteers are such a critical part of our ability to serve the community. Every week we have 450-500 individuals join us at the food bank and help us sort food, pack food boxes, re-package bulk items into family size bags, help in the administration area, and assist our agencies in their food selection process. Last year our volunteers donated over 100,000 hours to St Mary's. Without their support we would have had to hire an additional 48 full time employees. Volunteers enable us to insure that more than 95% of the financial and food support we receive from our donors goes back into the community in the form of food distribution programs. It is important to remember our need for volunteers is year round. So if your schedule permits, please call our Volunteer Services Department at 602-352-3640 and sign up today.

On Wednesday April 20th at 7:30 AM we will be holding our annual "Volunteer Recognition" breakfast here at the food bank recognizing "the best of the best" of our volunteer team and thank all who support us with their gift of time. Give us a call to reserve your seat today!
