Volunteer: Mobile Food Pantry Distribution Volunteer

Volunteers are needed on the first Saturday of every month from 9:30am-1:30pm and on the third Friday of each month from 8am-12pm.

We have been low on volunteers and really would love some more!

These volunteers are the reason that around 250 families in our community have access to healthy food every week! It is a great opportunity for families and groups. 

We have restructured our distribution process during this time to maintain the health and safety of all of our volunteers and clients who visit the Foothills Food Bank! If you are interested in volunteering with us, we will ensure that you are aware and able to reasonably follow our new health and safety guidelines.

This volunteer shift takes place at the East Whatcom Regional Resource Center (EWRRC), which is about 40 minutes outside of the city of Bellingham. We know that this can be a far drive for some and we really appreciate your willingness to come out and volunteer with us.
