Other Opportunities with Interfaith Food Bank
Interfaith Food Bank provides several Permanent Support Housing locations and School Programs with groceries that they need. We receive weekly grocery lists that we count on our volunteers to pull together from our warehouse supply.
In all, there are about 100 people a month who get healthy meals because of the work of volunteers in this program.
If you have both an eye for detail and the ability to understand people, we have a volunteer position for you.
Help extend the shelf life of donated product! If you get bothered by the idea that food is going to waste while people are going hungry, we have an opportunity for you to help.
Thanks for your interest in this volunteer position!
We'll just need a bit of information so we can pass your application along to Interfaith Food Bank.
Volunteers can sign up for up to 3 continuing commitment opportunities for immediate referrals. If you signed up for more than 3, a Volunteer Lethbridge staff member will connect with you before making new referrals.
