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
