Looking for a high-impact volunteer opportunity with a shorter time commitment? Quality Control Express is a streamlined version of our traditional QC shift, offered exclusively on Mondays at the Tarrant Area Food Bank’s Distribution Center.
This fast-paced, hands-on experience focuses on sorting, inspecting, and repacking donated food that will be distributed to partner agencies across our 13-county service area. Even in a shorter shift format, volunteers play a critical role in ensuring our neighbors receive safe, nutritious, and high-quality food.
Whether you're signing up as an individual or with a group, QC Express is a meaningful way to start your week by making a direct impact in our community.
If you are looking to volunteer with a group larger than 20, please complete our group volunteer interest form. Submitting the form does not confirm your reservation until a member of our team connects with you to finalize details.
