Join us for a week of service in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, where we invite both groups and individuals to make a meaningful impact through volunteer opportunities at the Tarrant Area Food Bank's distribution center. This vital facility plays a pivotal role in sorting, inspecting, and repacking donated food products, ensuring that they meet the highest quality standards before being distributed to partner organizations across a 13-county area.
If you are wanting to volunteer with a group, please fill out our group volunteer interest form. Your registration on this site does not confirm your spot until you have connected with a member of our team through the form.
Volunteer responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:
- Sorting cans, grocery items, and packaged meats
- Preparing boxes
- Operating manual pallet jacks
- Sweeping and mopping
- Pallet wrapping using shrink wrap
- Transporting cardboard to the onsite compactor
Unless alternative arrangements are made, volunteers should be capable of standing for extended periods and lifting weights ranging from 30 to 40 pounds.
Minimum Age and Chaperone Guidelines:
Individuals as young as 12 years old and 55 inches tall are eligible to volunteer in QC. For children aged 12-13, one adult chaperone is required for every 1 to 3 children volunteering. Youth aged 14-15 require one adult chaperone for every 1 to 10 volunteers. Tarrant Area Food Bank prioritizes the safety of all volunteers, and therefore, there are no exceptions to these chaperone guidelines.
