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
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!
Fall 2024 Volunteer Spotlight
Volunteer Spotlight: Colleen McMenamin Makes a Difference While Having Fun and Building Relationships
After retiring from a fulfilling career at Catholic Charities, one of All Faiths Food Bank’s partner agencies, Colleen continues to support the community by volunteering at School Pantries. “I always felt that not a single person in this country, but particularly Sarasota, should go hungry,” Colleen says. After a year of giving her time, Colleen has established meaningful relationships with fellow volunteers. “I really love the other volunteers…they’re all in it for the same thing — to help people and have fun,” she says. To anyone considering taking the leap, Colleen has an encouraging word to share from her own experience. “I find it fun and rewarding, and you’re helping people. It’s really a win-win for everybody.”
We love our volunteers!
