Be a Volunteer

 

While feeding children is the top priority of the Summer Food Service Program, programming is what keeps children coming back. This takes volunteers – and LOTS of them – especially in June, July, and August. Volunteers can help with basics like transporting food, setting up, or cleaning up a site—they also plan and do educational or recreational activities with the children. We encourage Summer Food Service Program sponsors and sites to register their volunteer opportunities with www.serve.gov/endhunger. This website allows volunteer opportunities to be posted, as well as allows volunteers to search for opportunities. Go to www.serve.gov/endhunger to post or search for opportunities today!
