Just one hour of volunteer work generates exponential meals to feed our neighbors in need. When you give your time, you’re directly contributing to the livelihood of your neighbors. From sorting non-perishable goods in our warehouse to serving meals and groceries, with every volunteer opportunity, you make a direct impact on the wellbeing of our community.
Feeding Tampa Bay is considered an essential facility – working hard to ensure vulnerable neighbors across our 10-county service territory have the food they need through any crisis that arises.
Volunteers are crucial to these efforts and play a large role in the deployment of our emergency programs. If you are willing and able to volunteer in crisis situations, like a hurricane or pandemic, become a part of our emergency response volunteer team.
Volunteers are responsible for making sure all food is processed through our warehouse and placed in the hands of those who need it most. By packing and sorting essential food, you help provide for the thousands of children, families and seniors we serve.
Break barriers to access by distributing fresh groceries in the heart of areas that need it most. Place nutritious foods directly into the hands of our neighbors and connect with your community in a new way.
Bring warm, chef-prepared meals to children, seniors, and families and enjoy conversations with your neighbors at Trinity Cafe.
Feeding Tampa Bay strives to create volunteer experiences that leave you feeling fulfilled. Individuals and groups are always welcome. Volunteering with us provides a great team-building opportunity for your group to serve together and make a difference in our community.
Groups over 10 volunteers must be scheduled by contacting our Volunteer Services Team. Email us below or call 813-254-1190.
