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!
Summer 2025 Volunteer Spotlight
Volunteering Fills Anita’s Heart
Caring for the community has been Anita’s lifelong priority—first in her native Denmark, and later in the U.S., when she moved here at age 21. From 1975 to 2010, she served her neighbors as a dedicated nurse. After retiring, she began volunteering with All Faiths Food Bank, helping distribute food to children and families at School Pantries.
Anita grew up on a small farm in Denmark, where her family relied on what they could grow and produce. That experience shaped her understanding of hardship. “I understand what it’s like to maybe not have the means to live,” she says.
Now, through her volunteer work, Anita sees the impact of her efforts up close. “[The people receiving food are] so grateful, and that in itself gives you purpose… to be doing something for others,” she explains.
To anyone thinking about volunteering, Anita offers heartfelt encouragement: “I wouldn’t want to give this up,” she emphasizes.
We love our volunteers!
