We love our hunger heroes
Thousands of generous individuals, corporate groups, clubs, students, and faith-based organizations help us sort and distribute food each year. We couldn’t do our work without our volunteers and we are grateful everyday for their support.

Volunteer core values
Please review these guiding principles, which are central to All Faiths Food Bank, and highlight how we endeavor to represent our mission in the community.
What is a Hunger Hero?
A Hunger Hero is someone who steps up to offer hope for families facing hunger and hardship in our community. We cannot combat food insecurity alone – we need people like YOU who have the desire and courage to answer the call!
Whether you decide to volunteer in one or multiple areas, to help once a month or every week, please know you are the lifeblood that makes our mission possible. Know that your time and energy are valued and appreciated. Know that you will be treated with respect. Know that you are making a positive difference in someone’s life.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

Giving back together: Ramin and Rita’s volunteer journey
Ramin and Rita moved from Columbus, Ohio, to Sarasota to retire in 2018. Hunger relief is a cause that’s important to them, so volunteering with All Faiths Food Bank was a key part of settling into a new community.
Now, Ramin and Rita are pillars of our volunteer community, showing up regularly to help out at mobile pantries.
For the couple, the best part of any volunteer shift is face-to-face time with neighbors who are picking up food. Every box of ingredients shared means family tables filled, children fueled and community members cared for.
Volunteering with the food bank has been so meaningful to Ramin and Rita that they encourage anyone who can to get involved. “The feeling you get by giving back to the community is like no other, and the food bank is an amazing way to do that.”
Thank you, Ramin and Rita, for donating your time so generously! We could not operate our mobile pantries without dedicated friends like you.
We love our volunteers!
