Build a Better Food System

 

Every year, billions of pounds of fresh, nutritious food go to waste—but together, we can change that.

Volunteers are the heart of this effort. Whether you're sorting fresh produce, assisting at events, or lending your unique skills in other ways, your thyme and energy create a direct impact on food access in our community.

 
 
 

How You Can Get Involved

Volunteering with us is a hands-on way to make a real difference in food access and sustainability. We offer a wide range of weekly opportunities at our warehouse and office to fit different skills and interests:

Warehouse:

  • Sort, pack, and distribute fresh produce

  • Ensure food reaches the people who need it most

Office:

  • Support administrative projects

  • Assist with outreach efforts

  • Complete behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our mission moving

Need to Know Before You Volunteer

  • Shoes: Please wear closed-toe shoes to stay safe and comfortable.

  • Gloves: Provided for your protection—usually not latex.

  • Lifting: Some tasks involve lifting, so come ready to move a bit!

  • Kids: We welcome helpers ages 8+ (children under 8 need to sit this one out).

We’re committed to making our volunteer experience welcoming and accessible for everyone. If you or your group need accommodations to participate, please contact:

Volunteer Spotlight

 

Raul Sanchez

Raul started volunteering at Kanbe's this spring and has quickly become one of our most dedicated volunteers.

As a member of our BIPs, Berry Important People, Raul has stepped up in so many ways to support the work at Kanbe's. From joining us almost daily in sorting and at so many of our special events, Raul has been one of our strongest champions!

Thank you for all you do Raul; we're so glad you're here!
