Volunteer

The Port Angeles Food Bank operates with nearly 70 volunteers a month who work the equivalent of 5 Full Time Employees. Our volunteers sort, stock, repackage and serve over 100,000 lbs of food each month.

Along with ongoing weekly and monthly support at the building, we offer a variety of drives and events for you to participate. The Port Angeles Food Bank is a great place for teens to satisfy their school community service requirements.

If you are interested in learning more about becoming a part of our amazing team please fill out the form below. It may take a few days to a week to hear from us, but please be patient, it doesn’t mean we don’t need your help - it means we DO!

Thank you
