Volunteer

 

With your help, we can continue to feed those in need.

Give Time

Volunteer times:

Monday-Friday 9:00am-12noon, 1:00pm-4:00pm

Saturday by appointment, 9am-12 noon.

Volunteers are needed to sort and box food that come in from community drives and as salvage from grocery chains. Individuals and groups are invited to donate their time and skills to help the Montgomery County Food Bank feed hungry Texans. Numerous opportunities are available to assist with feeding the hungry, such as:

  • Inspecting and sorting donated food
  • Helping at a special event
  • Donating your specialty or professional services such as graphic design, printing or photography

 

Volunteers include, among others:

  • Committees for special events
  • Hospitality docents
  • Quality control workers
  • Office assistants (data input, filing, reception duty)
  • Spanish-language translators of written materials
  • Researchers
  • Groups who handle large mailings (newsletters, thank you letters/cards)
  • Advisors in food acquisition and handling, finances, marketing, fundraising and other areas of expertise
  • Coordinators of Food & Fund Drives for workplaces, schools, clubs, professional associations,
    religious organizations, civic groups, neighborhoods and other groups
  • Food & Fund Drive Teams
  • Food & Fund Drive Teams sponsor food drives for nonperishable, or shelf-stable, foods and often collect money as well. Although most groups hold their drives in the spring or fall, we encourage groups to organize food drives any time of the year. Donated food and financial support is welcome anytime to help feed hungry families throughout the entire year.

 

To help first-time food drive teams get started, we have provided ideas and forms. Click on Food Drives for tips and forms to begin your successful Food & Fund Drive.

 

Warehouse Quality Control Teams

Groups and individuals come to the Montgomery County Food Bank's warehouse in Conroe to volunteer in the Quality Control (QC) area. They inspect food for damage and repackage the food for distribution. Because this work is around heavy machinery and a conveyor belt, QC volunteers must be at least 16 years old.

If you are interested in donating your time or would like more information, please call 936-539-6686 or email.

 

Make sure to look at the events calendar for special volunteer opportunities!

We look forward to hearing from you!
