Second Harvest of the Big Bend Volunteering

Second Harvest of the Big Bend relies on volunteers to help fight hunger throughout North Florida’s Big Bend region. Individuals, school and community groups, organizations, and people completing community service hours can participate in a variety of volunteer opportunities.

Most volunteer shifts take place at the Second Harvest warehouse, where volunteers may help sort, inspect, pack, and prepare food and other items for distribution. Additional opportunities may include group projects and seasonal or community-based service, including volunteer events at Lott’s Community Garden.

Volunteers must be at least 12 years old to serve in the active warehouse. Youth ages 12-15 must be accompanied by an adult volunteer age 18 or older, with at least one adult chaperone for every four youth. Age requirements may vary by activity.

Volunteer shifts must be scheduled in advance through the online volunteer system. Visit the website to view current opportunities and available shifts.
