Welcome to Emergency Food Network's volunteer portal!
It would not be possible to distribute more than 18 million pounds of food each year without the help of our amazing volunteers! EFN volunteers help repackage bulk foods for distribution to food pantries, support a variety of roles at our fundraising events, deliver food directly to those in need, and perform behind-the-scene tasks in our office.
With your help we are able to provide Pierce County with a consistent, diverse, and nutritious food supply so that no person goes hungry.
I would like to volunteer

'Stamp Out Hunger' Letter Carriers' Food Drive
Volunteers help us collect more than 200,000 pounds of donated food as a part of this annual one-day drive! We need both driving teams and unloaders at post offices in Pierce County! Driving teams are pairs of people (one driver, one loader) who will drive in a specific area to pick up food left by mailboxes and bring it back to the post office. Unloading volunteers will be stationed at the post office to unload mail trucks and driver team vehicles into our EFN trailer.
