Volunteer Opportunities!

Last year we logged around 9,000 volunteer hours who helped us distribute almost six million pounds of food in the ten counties that we serve in South Georgia. We have several opportunities for individuals, families, and groups get involvemed with in the fight against hunger. If you live in South Georgia or if you ever make it this way, give us a call and we'd love to meet up with you and work together in fighting hunger and poverty!!

Migrant Workers Outreach: In partnership with the Migrant Health Clinic in Lake Park, GA, we take a team of people to distribute food to needy migrant workers. We do this most every Thursday evenings. It is shocking to see the conditions and the level of hunger and need in this area. If you are interested in helping, give us a call or post a comment and we will get back with you right away.

Diaper Drive: Groups can put together a drive to collect diapers and we will distribute them to needy families in the area. You would be suprised how much money we can save a family or single mom trying to 'make it.' Daipers are so expensive and it cuts deep into a family's budget making it extremely difficult for families to pay rent, medical bills, and put food on the table. This is an amazing opportunity to be a part of the fight against hunger and poverty.

Manna Drop: This is a joint effort between organizations and the food bank as we go into communities where there is a high risk poverty level. We take pallets of food to these areas, usually on a Saturday and distribute distribute food to those in need. The whole vibe of a Manna Drop is centered on compassion and love for others. The old saying, "it is better to give than to receive," seems to be expressed literally at a Drop. Plus you get a chance to make friends and build bridges of hope in some pretty hopeless places. Just click on the Manna Drop Schedule to see where we're at next.

Warehouse Salvage Center: The Product Salvage Center helps direct quality donations to over 350 non-profit organizations in South Georgia. Volunteers make this possible by sorting, inspecting, and packaging items for these groups. The Salvage Center is a fun, hands-on project for individuals, families, schools, clubs, and other groups. The Center is open Monday - Thursday from 8:30am and 3:00pm and on Friday from 8:30am until 12:00pm
