Double Your Shift Day – Make Twice the Impact When It Matters Most

Join us for Double Your Shift Day, where volunteers commit to serving both the morning and afternoon shifts in one day, creating a powerful impact in a short amount of time.

This time of year, is typically a slower period for volunteer engagement, which makes days like this especially vital to our mission. By doubling your shift, you help ensure we can continue moving food, completing critical projects, and supporting our neighbors without interruption — even during quieter volunteer months.

Serving both shifts allows us to reach significantly more families, prepare thousands of additional meals, and keep operations running strong when support is most needed.

As a thank-you, volunteers participating in Double Your Shift Day will enjoy a provided lunch during the break between shifts, plus door prizes to show our appreciation.

If you’re able to give a little more time, this is one of the most meaningful ways to support our mission during a crucial time. We hope you’ll join us and help make a lasting difference — all in one day.
