Franklin Food Bank Corporate Volunteer Opportunity

Greetings! 

My name is Allie O’Brien, I’m the Development Director at the Franklin Food Bank and help to schedule all group volunteers, from corporate groups to schools to churches and beyond! We provide over 30,000 visits every year through our amazing client choice food pantry, our monthly drive thru produce distribution or one of our “Beyond Food” services such as monthly Nutrition class, helping with signing up for SNAP and other benefits or cancer and health screenings. We make QUITE a huge impact on our community but can only do it by working together with our volunteers! 

We offer an amazing experience for groups of no more than 10 people for no more than 90 minutes of volunteering. Activities may include repacking items for a distribution, deep cleaning our client choice pantry, organizing and restocking shelves, sorting and bagging produce, and more! 

The most successful models out there are volunteering groups that return on a monthly or quarterly basis. These groups become woven into the fabric of the FFB, learn how to function well and are true impact partners. If you would like to become a core group of the FFB, please let me know!

We require a list of email addresses to be sent to me for anyone who signs up one week prior to the volunteering date. This way we can send out a “What to Expect” email containing all important information for volunteers and provide them with a contact at the food bank should they need anything last minute. Additionally, following the event we will send out impact information on the incredible work we did together and vehicles for people to stay involved.  

The only way we can serve thousands and thousands of families each year is by working together!
