Volunteering at the Burlington Food Bank

Volunteering at the Burlington Food Bank - Please Read Carefully

The Burlington Food Bank is a great place to volunteer and serve your community!  We have a fantastic group of dedicated volunteers; however, we are at times in need of new volunteers to fill staffing gaps or extra volunteers for special events. To volunteer within the Food Bank, you must complete an application from through My Impact. 

Applicants who are a strong fit for the shifts and roles we are currently seeking will be contacted and invited to attend an Information & Training Session. During this session, you will learn more about the Food Bank, the important role volunteers play, and our current opportunities, as well as participate in hands-on training alongside experienced volunteers. Following the completion of an Information & Training session, accepted applicants will be able to sign up for available volunteer opportunities through My Impact.

We are honoured that so many members of the Burlington community wish to give their time to the Food Bank. The generosity and kindness shown to us each day is deeply appreciated. While we wish we could welcome every applicant, space and scheduling limitations make this difficult. We also encourage individuals to consider volunteering with Feed Halton, which supports the Burlington Food Bank through the distribution of essential personal care items and both perishable and non-perishable food.

We are grateful for your interest in volunteering with the Burlington Food Bank and truly appreciate your desire to support our community.

Student Volunteers 

We greatly value the contributions of the amazing students we have in Burlington. At this time, for the remainder of the academic school year, we have reached our capacity for secondary school students looking to complete their compulsory volunteer hours required for graduation.

We will resume welcoming student volunteers during the summer months. We also offer student internship / summer employment opportunities, which will be opening for application soon. We encourage students to check back for those postings and would be happy to connect at that time.
