Give Your Time to Volunteering
Volunteer your time, individually or as a group, to help feed neighbors in need.
Giving is your opportunity to be a part of making a difference in our community. From individuals to corporations, each person and every volunteer hour makes an impact on our mission. Whether you want to dig in at one of our partnering farms or gardens, be hands-on in our commercial kitchen or warehouse, or assist the office team, we’d love to have you or your group volunteer with us! Volunteer opportunities are available year-round; however, our need does vary based on season, weather, inventory, and program schedules.
COVID Health & Safety Precautions
Under the advisement of two Medical Physicians on the Chester County Food Bank Board of Directors, it has been decided that CCFB can safely lift the vaccine requirement for our volunteers at this time. We strongly advocate that volunteers receive their vaccinations and boosters as recommended by the CDC. There is a mounting body of evidence that vaccination with the most recent boosters reduces the incidence of long COVID and helps to mitigate a person’s chance of more severe illness. The COVID vaccine requirement for volunteers will be lifted as of May 1, 2023. All volunteers are expected to self-screen before reporting to their scheduled volunteer shift.

Color Some Kindness
What started as a simple volunteer opportunity for children and families to give back to our community has blossomed into a widespread effort to send a caring word and goodwill to our neighbors experiencing some challenges.
This fun activity allows volunteers to decorate boxes with colorful, heartfelt messages, bringing smiles to those who receive our Grocery Boxes for Seniors.
Given the program’s popularity and to ensure timely and cost-effective participation, we have restructured Color Some Kindness as an in-house volunteer opportunity at CCFB, or someone from our Kindness Crew can bring the coloring to your organization or business! Whether at CCFB or your place of business or gathering, the Kindness Crew guides you to create colorful, heartfelt boxes and shares the impact they will have in the community.
To bring this meaningful experience to your group, please email volunteer@chestercountyfoodbank.org.
