Each organization will also be restricted to 1 volunteering session during this period. If this does not suit your group, we recommend checking the Richmond Cares Richmond Gives (RCRG) website at https://www.rcrg.org/ for more potential opportunities.
Why Volunteer at RFB?
Richmond Food Bank volunteers:
- collect, sort, pack, and distribute donated food;
- deliver food to those who cannot leave home;
- help to organize our warehouse;
- represent us at community events;
- provide outreach and information to our clients;
- serve as directors on our board;
- much, much more
Volunteering has many benefits; it is a great way to learn new skills, stay active, make new friends, and to quote RFB volunteer Ken “give back to the community and feel good about it at the same time.”
Annually, volunteers give over 30,000 hours of their time to the Richmond Food Bank.
