Volunteer

Did you Know?

In 2023, 839 volunteers provided 17,109 hours working in the Pantry, in the warehouse, and covering several other critical activities at Helena Food Share. We love our volunteers and appreciate how they give of themselves daily to ensure our neighbors have food.

Thank you!

Current Opportunities:

Skilled volunteers help guide customers through the check-in and shopping process, rescue food from local stores, sort and move food each day so the Pantry is stocked and ready to go, help our garden thrive, and build boxes and bags of food for programs such as Kid Packs and Emergency Food Packs. We will work to place volunteers in the roles that are most needed and the ones they are most suited for.

Garden Volunteers:

If you enjoy gardening, the Helena Food Share garden has several opportunities for you to help us grow nutritious fruits and veggies for distribution in our Pantry.

Grocery Rescue Volunteers:

Each day Helena Food Share rescues over 2000 pounds of food from grocery stores around town. Volunteers ride with a staff member from 7:45 am to around 12:00 pm. Some days may go longer if we receive an abundance of rescue.

Rescue volunteers should be comfortable in all weather, be able to lift 30-50 lbs, and climb in and out of a box truck. This is a physically demanding position. Let us be your gym once a week!

Pantry Greeter or Intake Volunteers:

Join Tracey and others in welcoming customers. It’s fun to support your neighbors and be part of a great community organization. If you have time in the afternoons, enjoy people, work well with a variety of folks, and can write on forms clearly, we have a position for you.


Pantry Support, Sorting & Stocking:

Other positions are available for Pantry Support in the afternoons or Food Sorting & Stocking in the mornings.
